@ nahfish, Good one. LMAO

But if you have bought fish locally then you’ve probably bought it from some other fisherman anyway Lol.

The meat isn’t that great as filets, plus parrot fish are quite rightly protected now but years ago when we would be hauling jacks etc… we would get them in the nets sometimes. If they got ‘strung/gilled’ and died we would keep a few, knock the sides off and salt them down as they make awesome fishcakes. Of course we release them now though

Parrotfish tastes well. Like hogfish. Because it’s sometimes blueish or reddish or greenish and illegal it’s now mostly wasted in chowder. Thank god that it’s only a few who still use fish pots and supplement their income with “seaweed” and “derealting” and killing anything that moves in the ocean. The same guys who go crazy about the blue halo because they’re worried about the eye in the sky more than they’re worried about Fisheries or the Cop Shop or miles of water that they’ll never venture into.
