NomadJoe Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Looks like a Coral Grouper of some kind. I don't hunt or fish so no idea if they are edible. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's a very cool fish, good you got a picture. I can't answer your question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray42 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I don't think it's a type of grouper. The mouth is very different than a grouper's mouth. I think it's a type of wrasse, but obviously I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamini Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It is a parrot wrasse and good to eat as long as it is very fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Seeing the shallow water and rocks, guess that answers my question to your more recent thread about Shore Fishing - Getting Started. Glad to see you got outside and wet a line, nice fish, did you release or end up keeping? Regarding edible, in general and just my opinion, am a bit leery about non-palegics (and filter feeders) close to shore in or near the city areas, especially rock hangers ingesting small fish, invertrabrates and other vegatable matter off the rocks. Am, by no means, expert on Thai sewerage and city run off water handling, sure people eat stuff and live to post again on TV, just that I've read and seen a few things that raise a personal caution flag. Duh, I say this as I light up another fag during second cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
