Re: smoked wrasse flatrocks 25/08/09
was he breaking the law like ?
the answer to that is NO but on the other hand laws are not introduced in this country untill things are gone past a certian stage (the tuff sh!t stage, maybe we should of done something a while ago. there is no reasion why there cannot be a take home limit or a size limit as these fish dont breed untill three years old.
was he irish ? that would be a NO also but i,m not going to bring in the race card he was a nice friendly chap ( irish people dont eat fish inless it is prime fish) maybe were to pickie

Re: smoked wrasse flatrocks 25/08/09
Hello,
I am Irish, and we the Irish ate plenty of wrasse up to recent enough times.
I'm not yet 40 years old (two months tick tick). I learned to fish for wrasse strictly for the table (and good fun secondary). I fished the same spot as my grandfather who did so almost 100 years earlier. In the not too distant past the trade between the Aran Islands and Kinvara/Connemara was based on turf going to the islands and fish for food (often salted gunner (wrasse)) going to the mainland. Certain (big) wrasse are very nice to eat, and the method described sounds like one that Richard Corrigan showed on RTE from Poland. Also I was in a fresh food wholesaler in France last year where there was gunner for sale (called Vieille).
I completely agree that taking juvenile fish is indefensible.
