Spearfishing NSW 8 2020 + Citrus Butter Fish Recipe

Spearfishing NSW 8 is here! Ive only been back in Sydney for 2 months so this video contains the dives i've had between getting home and now. Spearfishing Jervis bay, Ulladulla, Batemans bay and the central coast!
Spearfishing a monster kingfish along with heaps of species whilst grabbing a few lobsters. Expect Sharks, Seals, Rays, Turtles and a ton of good eating fish.
Ive also chucked onto the end a little cook up with a recipe. Dont be afraid to drop some feedback i love to hear it and reply to you guys.
Shout out to my dive buddies for being epic, It was good to get back in the water with both Andy for Sydney smashing and Jetski adventuring with James from Southern Spearfishing after being too long!
The shots were taken from numerous dives and I take a variety of fish as I believe it’s the most sustainable way. If I only targeted one or two species like most we would have a significant impact on the stock so diversity is key, it also encourages you to cook and try different methods of prepping fish which is always great for the taste buds.
All fish were of legal size and were speared for consumption, I have a NSW Fishing Licence and abide by catch size limits, daily takes and no fish zones. Over the past 3 years now I have made the commitment to no longer buy fish, so I only eat the fish i catch. Spearfishing is the most sustainable form of fishing on the planet, it is also the most environmentally friendly form of fishing.

Same lol

[@ZombieHoard]

When you put the fillets in the pan apply pressure to keep the fillet flat until the flesh relaxes. This ill mean the skin stays in contact with the pan and becomes crispy. If it curls, it will steam and be soft and less palatable. Awesome video.

[@WetMammal]

Top tip right there i love it!

[@stoutjam9692]

Are there ever situations where the fish blood attracts sharks and you guys have to get out of there?

[@WetMammal]

Yes that definitely happens and sometimes you get attacked which is abit hairy

[@crispy7499]

Just a bit hairy? lol

[@qravityrl2909]

well sharks aren’t technically attracted to the smell of blood. Mark Rober did a video on this. I’ll give you the link so you can watch it yourself.

What's your setup for filming underwater? I got a GoPro and a basic head strap and the footage was mostly terrible.

Hey bro, I really like your video, can you please advise where is best place to fish in Sydney?

[@WetMammal]

Hey man, pretty much any headland in Sydney that you are allowed to spear will hold good fish. Getting away from the real shallow water will benefit you as well 🤙🏼

[@jasiahmascarenas9387]

hi im from "i did a thing"s channel i like your vids so now im subscribed (:

[@WetMammal]

Excellent! Thank you

[@jonnywaselectric]

I learnt a good tip to stop the fillets curling up, get a saucepan and half fill it with water and place it on top of the fillets for about a minute or 2, the skin will be extra crispy and dead flat. My Japanese mate fries fish scales up like chips in hot oil, I caught a luderick a couple weekends ago and filleted it and left the scales on, dried it well with paper towel a fried it the method i mentioned above and it was awesome. I think it would only work well with fish with small scales

[@WetMammal]

I will most definitely be giving this a go, thanks for the tip!

[@justafurrywithinternet317]

@@WetMammal Well, definitely something less loud and energetic. I saw some other guy suggesting for you to make the music more of an ambient layer of sound, and not the predominant audio. As to what piece in particular, I don't know since I don't really know the names of non-copyrighted tracks. Also, I'm sorry if I kinda disappointed you with my response, I reckon you expected more constructive criticism, and also sorry for my slightly broken English, I'm not a native speaker.
Edit: I looked at a different video of yours, and honestly it's significantly better. I think that what I perceived as a problem, has already been resolved.
