FTA: We just want Australian consumers to be given all the information they want and need to make a genuine, informed choice
Precisely! So much food sold here requires a microscope and Ph.D. in cryptography just to decipher from the packaging where it was sourced.
Thanks. So do you think restaurants that just say flathead are prob the import imposter.
Can you tell easily,diff shape / texture?
Coming up as $34.99/kg for me (Brisbane).
$34.99/kg for Sydney as well
I can guarantee this is NOT flathead. Most people have never even eaten actual flathead because generally, fishmongers don't sell real "skinned and boned" flathead fillets, and Woolies sure as hell don't.
Cutting the belly cage/lateral line bones out would result in a fillet which was very skinny and result in too much waste.They just cut some large skinned fillet into thinnish strips and call it flathead. I know a fishmonger who admitted to doing it.
Also, Source: I am a fisherman who has filleted hundreds of flathead.
It's odd that this industry can get away with calling a meat product a completely different species and get away with it. Imagine if they started selling horse steaks and just called it prime beef?
yeah, imagine if McDonald's called their meat "100% Australian Beef" !!
(sorry, was the first thing I could think of)What a total disgrace.
Horse steak is pretty tasty & lean. A lot less fatty then seal or whale.
But not quite as good as bear.
The stuff I have had from Woolies is real flathead. I have been eating flathead for years from various sources including the whole fish and I am aware of what looks and tastes like, the only fish I have tasted that is similar is Gurnard. You are right about the waste though about 60% of the fish is waste, which means often skinless and boneless fillets are $50 a kilo. You will find most of the fillets are from woollies are really small around 100g and v-shaped because the bones have been removed. Generally because the fish was young they taste amazing. The real problem buying flathead from a fishmonger is they get a huge older fish and cut them down to smaller pieces, generally these fillets are tasteless because the fish is was older and bigger.
I have bought from Woolies before and it tastes like flathead to me (same taste as fatties I catch, but not catch very often)
I asked above what does the fake import taste like, do you know?
$31.99/Kg all the time at Costco Docklands. I know they sell genuine Australia flathead as I got one fillet that wasn't skinned and it was an unmistakable sand flattie.
Lucky they are Australian flathead and noit that crap South American Flathead that I&J flog off for real flathead. South American flathead is a type of perch - rubbish fish. Be careful read the fine print.
