Hi all
Its been awhile for me since I last visited this site..
Anyway .I dont know if any of you have caught barramundi, and if you know how to cook fresh water and salt water barramundi.Well Ill share a little info with you ,that you may find very helpful, and will save you from getting disappointed with the barramundi that you may catch.First of all salt water barramundi can be cooked either way, whole or filleted.But fresh water barramundi are a little different.Fresh water barramundi should only be cooked as fillets,and this is due to the mud bank, that fresh water barramundi grow inside their backs.If you fillet a fresh water barramundi and turn the fillet over onto the skin side ,you will see at the top of the fillet a dark section of flesh.Now if you cook the fillet without removing that dark section ,you will have a fillet that tastes like mud and if you cook a whole fresh water barramundi you will also find that it tastes like mud.I hope that that has helped people, that have been disappointed in the past with eating barramundi

Hi Phil and welcome back, Im hoping on catching my first Barra later on next year, the Barra is my wish fish and Im hoping to get into the womens Barra classic up north in 2007 Im also hoping that my fishing partner Lynda will team up with me { hows about it Hunter ??? }
I wouldnt mind a spot og G.T fishing up your way as well, you are so lucky to have such great fishing in W'A.
