| | I had this great idea we have so much water on our land we could have a fish pond and apparently carp seem to grow well here. Thought first thing was to try carp and see what I thought, otherwise there is no point. We bought a fresh fish from the side of the road as you do here in Latvia, and they were fresh as some of them were still flapping. Problem is I found out I do have a squeamish point, it is cutting into the fish and finding out it wasn't as dead as I thought it was, kind of mildly freaked me out and had to get hubby to come and manfully deal with it. Now I need to know how to humanely deal with fish to make sure it is really dead before attempting to gut them, so does anyone know how to swiftly kill a fish? | |

| | Just knock it on the head, that should do the trick. Sounds like a great enterprise to start, good luck. | |

| | I've had the same happen to me – it's a bit off putting isn't it? Agree with Toffeeapple – a friend who does fishing has a small wooden truncheon for the job and apparently it's known as a Priest! |

| | Yep thats it; my dad used to go fishing regularly and you hit them hard on the head to kill them; not nice but effective | |

| | Though I recently came aross a clip on You Tube that shows live fish being cooked at your table – somewhere in China I believe – though not all were done when the dish was served… (Puking smiley here please!) | |

| | Must invest in one of those little items, one for the Christmas list I suppose. Lol (Must see if firefox will allow me to add those little smileys, as I haven't worked it out in Safari) | |

| |  Just tested it in Safari, Joanna, and it works for me. Then again, it is Safari running on a Microsoft/Intel (Wintel) computer, not on a Mac.
Some people try to drag and drop the Smileys into a post. No. All they have to do is click on the Smiley. Anyway, really pleased that you can add them. That reminds me to go and get some more  | |
