FISH OF THE WEEK - Scrawled Cowfish

This chap was seen on White Rocks Reef in John Pennecamp National Park in Florida recently

Cod of the Week

Its called a Barramundi Cod. It's small, about the size of a plate and its spotty and its been posted because its about time we had some proper fish.

Which is strange because it isn't a cod at all and shouldn't be confused with the Barramundi served in Australian chip shops which is a different beast altogether.

(Smoked) FISH OF THE WEEK

After a recent request for recipes from a Mr. K. Floyd we have turned our razor sharp FOTW minds to matters culinary. So here, direct from FOTW international contributor Janette Gerards, from the small Dutch town of Harderwijk (pronounced ardervick) is one of our favorite fishy treats, smoked eel. This photo was take on 'Eel Day' which takes place at the beginning of June and is a cause for a major civic celebration second only in importance to Herring Day.

Those crazy Dutch certainly know how to celebrate their fish ! Dank U Well Janette

(MAGNIFIED) FISH OF THE WEEK - White Spotted Moray

You are now going to have to believe me, a magnificent White Spotted Moray.

FISH(ES) OF THE WEEK - Waterloo Lake, Roundhay

Thanks Cathy for your photo of the shoal of little fish seen swarming round the edge of Waterloo Lake (the large lake) in Roundhay Park.. I for one was fairly surprised to learn that fish could actually survive in Waterloo Lake. I suppose we must give a round of thanks to Leeds City Council, Parks and Cemetery's Department for their efforts. As to your question, what type of fish are they? Well perhaps Pete of FOTW is more in a position to answer that one. As an ex-junior British Pike Fishing Champion (1979) he should know his coarse fish.......

ONE FOR THE KIDDIES - aaaaah Cute

This taken on the Great Barrier Reef in March o5 .

FOTW freely admits that we didn't take this! So a big FOTW thanks to Jules of Scuabpix (www.scubapix.com ) who took this whilst diving on board Taka (www.taka.com.au/) . If you ever happen to be in Cairns we strongly recommend you pay them both a visit. Taka is a fantastic boat, with a great crew and just the best food!

Jules if you see this send us a picture!
