Flying Fish

[E.Martin]

Years ago while driftnet fishing a Garfish would get caught in the drift net and it would finish up in the frying pan.
After eating the fish twas said that if you baked the bone in the oven then ground it into a powder it worked as
a aphrodisiac.

As a boy fishing on Southend Pier, we fished for Garfish, used a float with a 3 or 4 foot trace one hook, when caught they were very lively, leaping out of the water, and hard fighters, never eaten one,

This is one I really did catch earlier, around 1959, it was in Georgetown British Guiana before it became Guyana. The bait was the remains of a leg of lamb. We sold it to the locals.

Hi shipmates thanks for the information "Garfish cooked in milk is very good" never seen that fish ashore .?The fish for breakfast caught by myself "bantry bay " on hand lines were mackerell rainbow colour so fresh they jumped in the pan cooked in butter {irish} the very best. The sea water was clean and green in them days loads of fish.

After eating Mackerel caught only hours befor, you would never buy from a shop again, tastes so different.
