Harbour Jews

Post by West_Oz_Rossco »

Hit the harbour on Saturday night, conditions perfect for Jews and they didn't let us down. Biggest 116cm. Cheers to me good mate off here Jerro for the trip. How do locals up here rate these guys to eat? Any tips?

Great work :mrgreen:

Nothing wrong with jewies, only Territorians spoiled by reds, goldies and coral trout could possibly whinge about such a tasty fish :Di

Flour egg and breadcrumb chunks or fillet shapes similar thickcness to jeffish or thinner for crisp little nuggets .. mmm, mmm. :chef1:

Should have a few kg of fillets out of that lot well done fellas :mrgreen: . Were you jigging placcies or octos? or just soaking baits. ?
You’re not wrong, pretty much a whole drawer in the freezer full of jew meat! We bled them well immediately then put em straight on ice, so the fillets are in beautiful nick. Just so fat! Agreed though, not as good as a trout or emperor but then again not much is. Would take a jew fillet over Barra hands down.

Just got em on a cocktail of pillies and baby squid.

Bigger Jewies are also good for cubing, light flour, and rice with sweet & sour.

Nothing wrong with a Jewie or 2 to feed the mobs :)

Yeah nice work Rossco :applause:

At the risk of 'thread-jacking' - is that the BabyQ?

If so, do have an issue with grease/oil dripping out the back of it (I've got a constant battle mopping the $hit off the pavers below it every time I do a roast :| ).

Mine's the next one up from the BabyQ mate, and yeah she drips oil like an 81 Sigma. Pretty common issue I think, although mine's probably not helped by the fact I never clean the b*stard properly :rofl:

The drips run out of the lid in the open position.

BBQ wipes for the inside lip of the lid and the whole lid every time before cooking slows that down.
