June 2010 results

20 June 2010

With 6 fishos on board we headed out to the 60's. No leatherjackets, no fish. Came back to the 40's at 8:30 AM for some good catches of 16 morwies, 8 piggies, 15 reddies, 13 sgt bakers and 1 gemfish? Biggest fish 0.92 kg morwie caught by R Hadzic.

13 June 2010

Fished off the islands in the 40s - very cold but conditions good. Days catch resulted in 1 flathead, 7 morwie, 15 good sized snappers, 3 pigfish, 1 maori wrasse & 2 sgt baker. A good day out enjoyed by all. Paul Burkhardt hooked up a 2 metre shark but unlucky to land it. Biggest fish of the day 1.32 kg morwong caught by Ivan Mauro.

Recipe: Tetsuya Wakuda’s Leatherjacket marinated with ginger and soy

What to do with so many leatherjacket that you caught? try this recipe from the famous Japanese chef Tetsuya Wakuda.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 medium-sized whole leatherjackets (about 150g each), gutted with heads, tails and fins removed
150ml soy sauce
100ml mirin
3 tbsp grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 pinches white pepper
1 pinch salt
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
plain flour, for coating
grapeseed or vegetable oil for deep-frying (about 2 cups)
2 limes and zest (optional), to serve

Preparation:

Chop each leatherjacket into four or five pieces. (Use a cleaver for best results and chop through the bone.)

Combine soy sauce, mirin, ginger, garlic, white pepper, salt, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour marinade over fish pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for half an hour.

Remove fish from the marinade and toss in flour to coat evenly.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot, about 170-180C. Fry fish in batches until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve fish with lime wedges and a green salad and scatter over lime zest, if using.
