Wrasse kill or Release

You can't educate pork mate, like you say the majority do try to put them back but there is the one's who can only see £ signs and the status of being top dog when winning a match. And those who say don't fish if you don't like killing fish, I keep codling and yes sometimes it's hard to get a deep hooked fish back from time to time but there's nothing wrong with people trying !

whats there to educate wrasse is a edible species I don't like Pollack but I don't go on how people eat them thick as a castle wall comes to mind

Prick comes to mind with you mate ! Just like so many on here. ****ing know it all bellends.
 
Aye lick me bollocks. Nothing wrong with the site just the same pricks thinking they know everything.

so I give you fact and you cant handle it then go calling people names and slating other members who have most likely forgot more than you know!!
 
Wrasse can be eaten but they are considered inedible by the British, although the French consider these fish to be an essential ingredient in bouillabaisse. This fish are slow growing and can live up to 20 years. They are also one of the few fish that are able to change sex during their life.
 
I agree with most in saying they should be released but even when fishing the rock marks targeting codlings you sometimes can't help but catch them and by the time you've pulled them through the kelp they're already pooped and usually don't survive, how ever if I was shown a way to fillet and cook them I would deffo give it a try so not everything is wasted.

And another simple recipe:

Unfortunately the British attitude towards seafood tends to be that it's got to be cod or haddock, served with deep-fried potatoes and preferably the bag they come in or the plate they're served on deep-fried too.

Personally I would catch and release and take it one step further and have the species removed from a list of fish you can weigh in at a match with the possible exception of a catch&release match.
 


Never kept one as I heard they were rubbish to eat-mind if they were tasty like Bass I would keep them to eat.
Up to the individual I suppose.

This type of rubbish pops up every so often, same the anti bass brigade. Most people return them alive, but no one should be made to feel guilty for killing a legally sized fish of any species for the table or weigh in.
Its not as if hordes of anglers are trawling all the rock marks like wild animals, hell bent on killing of the ballan wrasse species!
No fish deserves to die anymore than the next one, be it cod, wrasse, bass, slow growing, fast growing imo.
The odd wrasse kept here and there will have no effect on wrasse numbers whatsoever:)
 
the topic will sharp fade away when winter creeps in as not many are caught from shore they go in deeper water into there binladen caves in the deep water so no more blow it out ya arse campaign carry on but ya still get the odd daft one turns up for a quick debate munch :D
