Samsonfish

Two very similar species are marketed as Samsonfish; they are distinguished by the number of fin rays on their backs.

Available wild caught they are a free-swimming marine fish found right around the Australian coast (excluding Tasmania), mainly over the inner continental shelf.

They are mainly caught off the central to southern coast of WA by handlines and droplines, also as bycatch of line fishing off southern Queensland and northern NSW.
