John Dory
Ask most anglers to list their ‘top five’ table fish and it is a safe bet the majority will include john dory.
While it might not win too many beauty contests with its angular, extendable jaw, the john dory is popular with those who do the cooking and those doing the fish eating in any angling household.
It has a fine flesh that is both firm and flavoursome. Filleting and skinning it can be something of a mission, but the effort is well worthwhile. John dory is not a scavenger like snapper; it is a hunter. It relies on stealth and concealment, waiting for dinner to swim its way before extending its jaws and ‘sucking’ its prey in.
