Snapper seems pretty serviceable here but I find it pretty hard to get anything that tastes good to cook at home. Had loads of good fish in restaurants though.

What these people call snapper just isn't. Looks like snapper. Tastes like ... not snapper.

A quick internet search suggests the fish is the same species. I reckon our colder waters make it taste better

@canefan expect so...were discussing the north island Blue Cod being a bit average in comparison to the SI Blue Cod at the pub work yesterday, so entirely plausible.

[MajorRage]

Snapper average, terakihi, barramundi bloody awful.

Whiting, Hoki both fabulous.

It's all about the John Dory.

Leaving the kids with the in laws, and invading a restaurant for a long lunch.

I organised to go the beach, forgetting it was Australia Day and it will be a mad house.

Watching the footy, taking a dip, working on a bike and car. Wife has friends over, so I'm making myself scarce.

I live in Bali now, the home of the very worst type of Australian tourist. So I'm currently with the kids at a climbing place (all to ouselves) then will grab a ton of food on the way home to our villa to hibernate for the afternoon/evening away from the bogans. Many beers, much swimming, some good tunes and a feast to follow.

I don't know the North, not my area of Sydney ... Balmoral would at least have some age appropriate totty without kids, just not topless.

So true!
Travelled back from UK through Denpasar and thought I had somehow arrived in Manchester Airport just before a charter to Benidorm.
