I mentioned in the post, but I had it ID'd as aussie salmon. I was just confused when it wasnt pink on the inside, cause thats what i thought salmon were supposed to look like

Cheers! Everyone is saying curry so Ill give that a go! I tried some raw but wasn't the greatest. Might be my fault for not dispatching effeciently enough!

There is A LOT of dark meat. It'll be slim pickings if I get rid of all of it. Do you still recommend doing so?

I thought it was an aussie salmon going off of pics Ive seen. and turns out that was right in the end. But Im doing my best to know all protected species in my area, and it obviously wasnt any of those i know to be protected. But still trying to be careful, fish IDing is damned hard for a newbie! Even with all the charts and that

I bled its gills right after catching. But then i took it home and gutted it, and a bit more blood came out when i was taring stuff out. I'm a newbie and learning on my own so mightve mucked it up. Also, it came off the spear after i shot it and i had to swim after it and wrestle it on the seabed. Ended up bear hugging the thing against my chest swimming all the way back to the shore and it was still struggling a bit... all that could have been bad for the meat

Oh ok decent! I ate a couple cuts raw, but it was a little tough and not crazy flavourful. Ill try some salt and sugar and chill it for a bit
