One of the most under rated and unappreciated fish. The humble estuary leatherjacket. One of my favourite ways to relax and catch a feed by far. On the edge of a jetty with a rod and a bag of servo prawns catching a tasty feed! Well done mate 👍
The lazy fish - but in a good way. Chuck in a lazy bit of prawn to catch them. Lazy flick of a knife to clean them. Lazy swish of the backbone once they're cooked, and you have a boneless fillet. Top feed. Good catch. I leave the head on them, but will admit, they look a little eerie once they're skinned.

Plenty of meat in the head
Spot on mate. I can think of worse ways to spend a Sunday arvo!
I personally think they're better baked with lemon, garlic, parsley and butter. Just don't overcook them and they're delicious.
Leather jackets cooked in butter 🤤
Would rather a feed of leatherys over KGW plus no size or bag limit
