| Re: Eating freshwater fish I hav eaten Perch, in the Former Yugoslavia. I have to say that they were extremely tasty, but would not do so here. If you are interested, I suggest you find yourselve a copy of 'Freshwater Fishing' by the legendary due of Faulkus and Buller. Every species has a couple of recipes.     |

| Re: Eating freshwater fish Many cluns have a rule about removing or allowing smaller pike to be taken. Hugh Fernley Wittinstall (or however you spell it) , cooks one for an angling freind. "Good hey" says Hugh, "Hmm Good" says his mate, "Cut!", "O f@@@ me that tastes likesh@@". On the whole most freshwater fish taste like cr@@ anyway. We need to be open to the fact that they are eaten. I've tried eel (OK), pike (hmmm! , OkIs!) and bream (very strong flavour). We've probably all been eating the Mekong Catfish (Basa) and not realised what it was . I think there is a scope for put and take coarse fisheries. __________________ Just remember, not all the heroes died. www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
