Re: Wrasse

The wrasse are safe for now untill this weather dies down....nice and sunny though. Is that a catfish relation Azapa? Its not a wrasse.
Its just the lobster fisherman where I am mention there used to be catfish where I am which were good eating. I have not heard of catfish living in salt water, maybe brackish, and not seen one around here...yet.

I am not sure I agree with the shame you write of, don`t be so hard on yourself . I would say the shame is that the fish were over exploited to start with and that can be largely down to beurocracy, especially over here where over quota fish are dumped so as not to incur loss of fishing licence/prison sentence and loss of livelyhood(Black fish is another story). But tell that to someone who is hungry. It is all fashion, lobster was once poor mans turkey etc etc... I am not classing any fish except tasty and awful and available. This topic for example may encourage the consumption of a few more wrasse. And at the weekend when the Queen comes round for her usual afternoon tea (she does that all the time, parking her Roller on the street without paying for a permit is most enviable)and enjoys the wrasse I cook her. Well next thing you know "Queen eats wrasse" is in the press and then they all want it.......but with the sea state the way it is I may have to go to Markies for her tea!
