Rattails

June 1, 2011   


One of the fish that is a by catch of the toothfish fisheries around South Georgia is called Grenadier or Rattail. They are ugly fish and as there is not much commercial use for the boats that catch them here we tend to get given a few boxes each year by the fishing boats. Last saturday it is the fish I used for making Fish and Chips and even though I am not that into eating fish it was quite tasty. Kieron mentioned that if you saw them before being skinned and filleted it would be something you would think to eat! How right he is 🙂

    Oh my Goodness! That is far and away the ugliest fish I have ever seen. Do not, I repeat, do not eat that fish. No matter what anyone says, something that ugly has to taste bad / be poisonous / or otherwise ruin your meal.

    Let’s see more cute penguins.
