Im getting really excited for gallie season and after seeing that the rest of you guys are too i decided to post a nice recipe for gallies, my girlfriend is not really a fish eater but loves this.... and its done in the oven

Step 1 Gut and clean the fish

Step 2 Add coarse salt and rinse after 20 min

Step 3 Wind dry galjoen for 30 mins

Step 4 mix one tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons of apricot jam , add some garlic flakes and garlic salt then melt it down in the microwave for about 1.5 min. Stir regularly and taste to make sure you've added enough garlic salt. After the galjoen was salted, rinsed and hanged out to dry, use a glass bowl and spray with spray & cook so that the galjoen does not stick to the bowl. Place galjoen in bowl and add some fish spice and black pepper, then take your sauce and pour evenly over galjoen, give it a dash of lemon juice and put it in the preheated oven of about 160 degrees for more or less 40 min.

Cant wait yum yum!!!

That does sound lekker!!
For some strange reason some of the guys swear by using chop spice.....havent tried it yet.

Anyways...........

So where is your favorite gallies places or spots!!

I have never shot a gallie but have seen alot of them come out in melkbos and blouberg but the best spot is bakoven!!!
