In view of the urgently cascaded advice from public health regarding not eating shark, swordfish and marlin, should I worry about my increasing dependance on mudcat, what health problems are lying in wait for us all. Whats worse I'm a pisces, and I work with mercury sphygs. Has there been a thread about the hazards of fish?

Maybe so, fogie. Mudcats are bottom dwellers. Who knows where we've been and what we've been eating. Maybe it's time for you to become very afraid.

Though I hate to disagree with you on anything Carol, not all Mudcatters are benthic species.

We also have our fair share or raw prawns, angler fish, lampreys and slippery eels.

I still credit most here as being real Mudcats though!

Very best regards,

mooman

mooman,
I believe I have apotted a few red herrings, and the occasional cod as well!
Still, I school myself to flounder on, as I do enjoy the plaice.

On a "scale" of 1 to 10, I'd put Mudcat at 11.

Me? Just small fry.
Like the red herring gag - in theory - can't stand fish in the flesh.
Maybe a song from Wales (I know baleanoptra are not piscatorial at all but it seemed funny when I thought of it)
"W'ell kipper welcome in the hillside"
Anyone for a game of sardines?

If I'm not mistaken, the mudcat can travel overland quite some distance. Just look at how versatile and all-comprehensive we are!

I hate to place a serious question here, as this thread is so very light hearted, but I do need to ask about the following: "In view of the urgently cascaded advice from public health regarding not eating shark, swordfish and marlin..."

Can anyone tell me whazzup here? As meat goes, the only thing I eat *is* fish. Is there something to be afraid of that I have not heard???

Thanks in advance!

Dear celtic soul, There has been found to be enough mercury in certain fish species see above for a general warning to be issued in UK not to eat them at all if youre pregnant and only one portion per week if youre not or is it if youre a child. This has set people worrying about other fish like tuna

Jeez, yea, g'day... and all that Orstrilian stuff. When you hear what they say down here about us having the best fish (crab/prawns/lobster/beef/mutton/lamb/wheat/corn/oats/you get the point) in the world.... (well, they say it everywhere don't they?)... you haven't lived until you've tried a nice fresh barramundi big enough to hang over the plate all round. Mind you, if you try some of the oysters they're talking about from some of the rivers on our coastline, you might not live much longer.

Think I'll stick to porridge.

This is like a bad bream,some of the remarks are au-dace-ious. Must go now as I fancy a shad, followed by the piece of cod that passeth all understanding.

Squid it. Herring all this is really making me sick. You're gilling me here. FINish it already. This thread is floundering anyway. It's all a bunch if tripe, if you ask me. That last one really smelt in my opinion. I think we're all being a bit shellfish here. Many are just showing off their mussles.

I have to tuna guitar now, so I'll catch you all on the net.
