this year, they have been caught and landed in much bigger numbers, one inshore punt working lobster pots close to the shore landed over 250kg in one day...
the downside of having these visitors is that they love dining on lobster - with disastrous consequences for any that they discover in a pot where they are a captive prey...
the octopus at this time of year move inshore seeking places to spawn - in this instance the eggs have been laid on a trap used to fish for them!...
there are any number of ways to cook these fine tasting fish, grilled on a BBQ with simple oilive oil, lemon and herb dressings are the most simple, marinading and cooking in boiling water - lowering the fish very slowly into the water so that the tentacles curl up is another way to enjoy the current supply of fresh fish. m,any local restaurants like Argoe and The Shore have them on their menus this year.
