poached no license as in stealing, not cooking Stealing fish is contrary to section 1 of the Theft Act 1968. The Act also creates poaching offences to cover situations where wild fish are taken. Taking wild fish from a river is poaching, but removing a dead fish from a fisherman's car boot is theft.OK, I do recall seeing bream for sale in the fish shop on Stratford Road
Sea Bream were on sale at the City Centre fish market, but as you say freshwater bream could be very earthy.OK, I do recall seeing bream for sale in the fish shop on Stratford Road

I remember camping at Arley and night fishing for eels. We soaked them in salted water for some hours and then tried to cook them. Waited till the old man came and he loved them, so we then tucked in, and put several lines out the next night.
i fish of the rocks now after getting very sea sick. i thought i was dying.the smaller the craft the worse it is.The only time I ever caught fish was on a two week camping holiday way back in 1954 when six of us decided to go to Combe Martin in Devon. After a week we were low on money so decided to catch and cook some fish. We bought fishing lines, hired two rowing boats and rowed out to sea ... you could do that in those days.
Some distance out we stopped, put mussel bait on the lines, lowered them into the sea and immediately felt tugs on the lines. We pulled the lines up to see fish about 12" long on the hooks and after catching eight we rowed back to the beach. Walking back to camp someone told us the fish were 'whitings' and also how to fillet and cook them over a camp fire.
Pete, i used to fish with a couple of mates by the weir in Worcester. One lad caught a lovely salmon which he took home, which begs the question, is that stealing? I know if i caught a salmon (fat chance ) i wouldn`t throw it back.poached no license as in stealing, not cooking Stealing fish is contrary to section 1 of the Theft Act 1968.

Borth we went fishing there every year untill 1986. the river leri had some great mullet.and trout. i once swung a wrasse in and grabbed it "wat a mistaka to maka" it had spines that was like blackthornI went mackeral fishing many years ago in Borth. I caught a red gurnard and yes they do squeal!! I had to wrap it in a towel to get it off the hook and throw it back. The fish went"off" on the way home, it was a hot day.
I had taken seasick tablets just in case but I was OK.
