Sea Perch, not big and not exactly pretty, but good eating.
More Tasty Bycatch Dominik Berghamer Last time we talked about eating bycatch, so here are some more options to get a feed out of a very slow day. Sea Perch: They don’t grow big and the head makes up most of the fish, but the fillets are great eating. As with tarakihi and mullet, the abdominal lining is black but it peels off easily. Spotties and other wrasses: Their hard scales, spikes, and slipperiness make them a pain to fillet, but if you are curious or want to honor your kid’s catch give it a try, the meat is very nice with a mild taste. Octopus: Ok, technically not a fish, and definitely not everybody’s cup of tea, but with a bit of knowledge, they make great eating, they are much sought after in most other parts of the world for a reason! First, how to kill them; make a large cut between the eyes and turn them inside out. You know you have hit the right spot when they turn white and go limp (well, sort of,
the tentacles have a fair bit of life on their own, even when cut off.) Remove the guts, put it on ice and take it home. Take a big pot, put in a tablespoon of olive oil and fry the octopus. It will leak enough water to cook it in it. Put a lid on it and let it boil for an hour or so. Let it cool, strip off the skin (but keep the suckers) and prepare it any way you like. I prefer marinating the pieces in lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and Italian herbs. Finally, a few fish I tend to stay away from: Red Cod: I know you can buy the fillets in the shop and that many people eat them but I’ve never had good luck when I kept one.Very skinny, riddled with worms and mushy meat, maybe other parts of the country produce better quality fish? Barracouta: Apparently they have really tasty meat and the South Africans (they call it snoek) love it but they are so full of worms here that I could never get myself to try one, I only use them as bait.

High flyers The Mike Pero Nelson Giants secured their second win of the New Zealand NBL season on Saturday, edging a spirited Southland Sharks side 103-100. Kyle Adnam put the Giants on the board with a layup, but it was the side from Southland making all the early play. The shots simply wouldn’t fall for the Giants as they did in their opening encounter. However, when Bronson Beri sunk the home side’s first three-pointer of the night, it signalled a turning of the tide for the Giants. Nelson found their fluency and took a 46-39 lead at half time, increasing their shooting percentage to 42. But the Southlanders refused to go away, clawing back in the third to be down by just one at three-quarter-time, 69-68. It was a tense final five minutes for the Giants faithful, the home side clinging on to a two-point advan-
tage with a minute on the clock. Giants coach Jamie Pearlman called a time out with 23 seconds left and the scores at 101-100. The hosts held their nerve to claim their second win of the season 103 -100. Finn Delany ended the match with 25 points and nine rebounds. He says it was great to back up the round one win. “It was tense, and they may have scored 100 points but I think we played really well defensively, we picked off a lot of rebounds and will take a lot of confidence into the game against the Rams.” Kyle Adnam was awarded man of the match, top scoring for the Giants with 32 points. The win takes the Giants to second on the NBL table, sitting two points behind the Hawke’s Bay Hawks with a game in hand. The Giants will return to the Trafalgar Centre on May 19 to face the Canterbury Rams.
