Hi guys,

Does anyone have a good, reliable contact for fresh chokka? I often find that the chokka I buy from stores around are sometimes already turning pink! Please help out if you can, preferably someone who is based in the southern suburbs but I wouldn't mind driving out to get some good stock... THANKS!

I've been very disappointed with the chokka from Big Catch the last two times I have bought. Freezer burnt and half pink. Not what you would expect for R180/kg.

So I am looking for a new place to buy as well.

aangesien ons chokka meets kere pienk is, kan ons nie dalk daai kalamari gebruik wat so mooi wit is wat hulle by pick en pay verkoop nie!

daai wat as seekos aangebied word!
hulle almal mooi spier wit en sal ek lekker pencil baits daarvan kan maak!

Hoekom nie?

Toe ek in Gordon's Baai so paar wee terug uit is, vat ek my pa se ou rep saam. Ons sand prawn word op toe haal hy 'n pakkie prawns uit. DIE pakkie prawns was net die stert gewees, en lekker groot en dik. (Kon dit op sny in stukkies vir 'n 1/0 hoek. Sy eerste probeerslag met 'n hele pink prawn stert op die hoek vat 'n Roman dit dadelik met die hele ding ingesluk. Tot dan het ons nog net kleintjies gevang. Ongelukkig het hy net 4 sterte in die pakkie gehad maar dit was die beste aas vir die dag (saam met die vars rooi aas).

Willem ek praat onder korreksie maar die wit calamari by pick en pay word gespuit met iets om so mooi wit te bly.

Ek kry goeie chokka wintertyd wanneer almal net rooiaas en mossels soek, vaccuum pack dit.  Ek het laasweek 2 weggegooi na die freezer ontdooi het wat meer as 2 jaar oud was, spierwit, geen freezerburn.

Ek dink ook dat daar nie genoeg van die natuurlike olies oor is nie ....maar dit sal nie seer maak om te probeer nie

Yes Marin, I`ve heard that it`s a type of bleach.

I got a contact here that supplies me 10 kg a month for R40/kg  straight from the boats but unfortunately limited and catch depending.

Hi all, I have been using the P&P version for the deep sea fishing. It works as good as any of the whole chokka that I bought and to be honest it was much cheaper.
I make a point to buy when my wife prepares for our coastal holiday. I never tried it from the shore but I am sure it will work as well.
The only thing is that all the oils and other smelly parts are removed, that could be a problem from the shore.

Think so.. I dont think it will work as well for the surf as it does for the deep unless that fish must be really starving..lol
All the natural flavours and smells from the chokka is removed, rinsed and sprayed with chemicals to keep it white and fresh looking which is most likely to repel the fish than attract it.
I mean..If a chocolate smells like a turd.. You most likely would not eat it. ;)

i have come across instances where excellent quality (still soft) having come in earlier the morning from the boats being kept for individuals

so if you can ask the shop owner if they can give you a call when they get in fresh choke you stand a better chance of buying quality fresh choke
