Biggest bag ever!

[Malc]

After a marathon 3 hours+ on the phone yesterday I decided to get an hour trying for mackerel or herring. Managed to get a tiny pollock and a just undersized codling with the rods. I had seen lots guillemots pushing what I thought was sandeel against the pier wall and rocks but on leaving found this 😳 

As we need bait for the winter and I like whitebait some came home with me. 

yummy!

Nope, I am fine I knew they were fresh as I watched the birds corral them as the tide dropped.

They look like proper fuckers to fillet!

when i was at catering collage, i was part of a exserament on live lobsters.

we took them live,and cooked them live, and many diferent ways vak paking them live frezing them ect then days later eating them.

there was a lot of diferent ways we used

. but in the end cooked fresh was best (live )

The heads had a bit of sand in them even though I washed them so I just nipped the heads off. 

We went to the same beach today and there are still a lot left even though the gulls have been feasting, however they are absolutely stinking now 🤮
