Fishing

[Lady Lawrence]

I had my 3rd ever fishing experience today. How have I never discovered this pass time before! It's a lot of fun especially when you land a nice juicy flat head and throw it back, the look on the other fisher people's faces is classic!

Throw it back? Should see the look on my face. I guess you don't like flathead or it was too small. They can be the only two reasons, the only two - or - you had already caught a dozen.
Anyway, fishing is great. Whether it be salt or fresh water - a can of beer or JB&Coke can travel anywhere. One tip - never buy a two handed rod - the passion for fishing will dissipate in a second.
What else you catch?

Where did you go LL?

Fishing is great,I have been an addict since I was a little girl.I would have thrown a flatty back as well, hate the little boned ridden blighters.

on this ocasion we went to Scarborough.

And to Dr Pea P.I I threw it back cos I don't wanna kill anything. I could so not eat something that was living and breathing in my hands before. I know it may may seem weird but I couldn't eat something I had looked in the eye. I unhook it, thank it for playing kiss my finger, pat it on the head (can't kiss it like Rexy) and let it swim away to play another day.

I also can't eat anything that resembled what it looked like when it was alive, if I eat fish it has to be a fillet. I have been to restaurants where they serve the whole fish up in front of you and I have to send it back. My partner caught a flat head, made sure I didn't see him kill it, he took it home and folleted it but then he took it to his mum's cos it wouldn;t be eaten in our house.

I know I am weird but that is not news to me!!

Happy cat though!

I love flatties. Cooked in extra virgin olive oil with a dash of butter to brown them nicely. Though I must admit they are preety boring on the line, no fight.

Had six gold fish in a large pot outside as a feature. They had grown quite large. unfortunately during our hot summer down in Melb coupled with the water restrictions I came home and found them par boiled!

I know a few people who are similar. How about if somebody put a pig on a spit? Could you eat that? Or does the animal need to be completely concealed when cooked?

No, of course I didn't give the fish to the cat. Yes it did go to WFH. Had to double check it actually went down, could you imagine jnr toolgirl going to the toilet and there's those big black & white eyes staring at her!

When I flung the fish in there it looked like it started to swim and I did the biggest double-take you ever saw. I thought it was doing a Nemo on me!

nope can't do pig on a spit either, it simply cannot resemble in the least what it looked like when alive

What about a roast chicken or duck or turkey? Mmmm...

So would prawns, oysters and mussels be out of your culinary equation?

 

[Tim the Toolman]

...along with crayfish, bugs & grilled flounder

 

[maroon and blue]

What about a nice char grilled mermaid?

Is that how they cook mermaids? Arent they half human?

 

[Tim the Toolman]

They're better poached, but you will also have that fishy taste.

went again at the weekend - and this time I was able to unhook my catch, give it a kiss, thank it for playing and chuck it back all by myself!!
