I think I need my head read, but today our fish fingerlings arrived, 50 silver perch, and 50 catfish (Tandanus tandanus).  We intend to put them in our dams, and catch and eat them at some future date!
Apparently, Eileen's mother used to buy fish from a professional fisherman at Lake Cargellico, she claims that the catfish was the best eating of all the native fish! They have the added advantage, that they will breed if there is a gravel bottom in the dam, ( I though because of the cold here, it would take some time to reach that stage). Of course there are the natural predators to deal with, shags, cranes etc. And like our fruit trees (not to mention rabbits), the dream is the thing, reality another matter.

This all sounds a bit fishy to me. Good luck. Jimbo

Dorothea has brought the tartar sauce in readiness for the first catch.
