the trawler squid is under-rated, its the best for eating since its been tumbled around in the net (tenderised) but the small ones also make for good snapper bait.
one thing with being a prawn fisherman, i have lots of friends at christmas time
the best value prawns you can get as an average joe is to ask for a box of soft or damaged prawns, most are just missing a head or tail or have been chopped a bit by a crab or something so you are actually getting more meat for your money, still the same eating quality as the 'good' prawns just at a lower price
