[quote name='Jazman' date='May 9 2005, 03:00 PM']You can eat wobbegongs, the flesh quality is reasonable, similar to flake but not as good. My fish idetification 'bible' - 'Sea Fishes of Southern Australia' by Hutchins and Swainston - gives them 3 out of 4 stars for edibility. It is legal to catch them, there is no minimum legal size in Victoria and the bag limit is 1 per day. Here is alink to some info about the spotted wobbegong, the most common species in Victoria:
