Tips, Tricks
& How-To’s

Cold As
Keeping fish cold after you catch them  is of extreme importance if you want good quality table fish. Usiing heaps of ice is the traditional way, but it is not the only way…

Steve Wakley sent me this: " I enjoy your pages  (blush Ed.) and would like to pass on a tip that I have used for a number of years and it is so easy to make happen.

I simply fill up a number of 2ltr soft drink bottles with heavilly salted water and freeze. It is an easy task to throw 3 or four into the fish bin on an outing and doesn’t require a separate decision to go and buy ice. The salt water allows it to freeze at a lower temperature and more importantly to release the stored energy at a lower temperature. These packs stay frozen for hours even without a chilly bin.

Sharpen Up Your Act
Using a sharp knife is the key to making fish preparation easier, and more satisfying. Attempting to fillet fish with a blunt knife is difficult, and dangerous.
