Lots of messages here, but I'll continue to try to catch my own seafood!

Even the fish being caught and landed in our local ports isn't quite what you might think.

To us, 'Fresh Fish' is when you catch it and eat it that night, or within the next few days.

I have a friend who works in a fish merchants. To them, 'fresh fish' can have been out of the sea for anything up to 28 days, and that's even before it starts it's journey from them to the consumer.

 

I realise that the commercial boats can be out at sea for a long time before they return to port, and that the fish in their holds is on ice, but still...

That's the last prawn madras for me then!
