Catch a mackie, head off, guts out, quick rinse in the sea & onto the barbecue while its still flapping. Thats what you call fresh. None of this stale 2 hour old stuff!!! (-;

Emma & I often take a disposable barby down to Burton Bradstock and do something similar.

My two absolute favourite fish dishes, that will remain with me as long as I draw breath were:

1) In southern Spain, a whole bass baked in sea-salt. It looked like it was glazed in ice and as the crust was broken, the skin came away from the sweetest tasting flesh I've ever eaten.

2) While fishing with Vic Hague on Endeavor, out of Aberystwyth. We steamed out to catch macky for bait and oncew the deck was awash with fish, he set his galley-lad to the stove. Soon paper plates of macky, coated in oatmeal and pan fried were being passed around. All you could taste was sea. YUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYY
