(Tasty) Fish of the Week

Well, we’ve been a bit quiet recently, apologies to all fish lovers looking for some Christmas fish jollies. Pete has been up to his neck in fluid in Holland over the New Year. I suspect like me, you are looking forward to seeing his underwater shots from the Zeider Zee.

If you have had time to read the newspapers over Christmas you might have also noticed the scraps some goldfish have been getting into. One poor soul (no pun intended) was found in the centre circle of a football pitch belonging to a professional football team (I forget the name) following some serious flooding. Floodwater had damaged his aquarium in a house in a near by street. Alas, no happy end here, he was found died. Spot the goldfish, however, was luckier. Having been snatched from a garden pond by a heron, Spot heroically struggled free whilst the heron deliberated over his forthcoming meal, whilst perched on a nearby chimneystack. Although Spot rapidly descended down the smoke filled chimney into a raging fire, his luck held, as he landed on a pile of potato peelings just thrown onto the fire and bounced out onto the hearth. At this point the surprised homeowner intervened and Spot has apparently made a full recovery in an old washing up bowl. You could not have made it up could you (and I didn’t, it’s all true)

This week’s fish of the week was in fact very tasty. Thanks to Ann in Rugby for grilling this chap for us on Boxing Day and a happy New Year to everyone.
