Norwegian guide Johan Mikkelson with an 89lb cod
In Norway someone with a rod,
May well land an almighty cod,
If you get your wish,
And catch a coffee fish,
Then give thanks to some undersea god.

Everything. As It Happens.
Disgusting ugly big lump of gelatinous meat. Holding a fish.
Poor fish.
Unless I (and 10 other people) was starving, and I mean stuck on a desert Island–starving , I would just throw him back. I spoke to a skipper once while charter fishing and he said he wouldn’t eat most of the fish we were landing. The bigger they are, the more years and years of parasites and pollution is locked into the animals flesh. I wonder if this fella got put back? I hope so. does anyone know?
Ireland lost €3bn per year in income when we traded away our fishing limit to join the EU.
Or rather, we lost what would now earn us €3bn a year.
