Today we're very thankful for Pre-Teenbean and her fishing skills.
Yesterday as part of her school's 'Learning Life Skills' initiative, Pre-Teenbean went to Barn Elms Trout Fishery to learn fly fishing as part of their experience days for physically and mentally disabled children.
Little did The Mum expect her to actually come home with anything. She thought it was simply a case of catch, weigh, take a picture and release. The Mum had a very BIG shock.
Fish Number One: A Brown Trout - 1lb 4oz
Fish Number Two: A Rainbow Trout - 3lb 4oz
Fish Number Three: A Brown Trout - 1lb 4oz The Mum baked them in foil in the oven with butter, lemon and a slosh of white wine. We even got to share in the celebration by having fresh Trout for dinner. It was very nommy. Only Charlie, the fusspot, refused to eat it because, it didn't smell of Tuna and certainly hadn't come out of the tin. No accounting for taste!

ReplyDeleteTrout is yummy...Charlie we don't understand why you didn't at least try it.
When we used to bake fish at the house (it's been a long time) the cats would all sit at the oven and cry!
Pre-Teenbean is a very good fisherwoman! Congratulations on the catch
ReplyDeleteConCats to your PreTeenBean! Those is some furry nice fishies! Our beans do LOTS of fishing and we like when they bring them home. They's is nommy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on catching those fishies.We don't get fish at all because our Mom does not like fish except tuna. We do get tuna every now and then. But I bet you enjoyed those fishies. Take care and have a splendid day.

ReplyDeleteOh yum! Concats to the Pre-Teenbean! :) Great catches! Our mom eats fish but doesn't let us have any, can you believe that? Something about Pip being allergic so none of us get any :(

Those fish did NOT look happy they were caught... but I bet you kitties were happy to share the yummy meal! I have never had trout (mostly just salmon and sardines), but my human assures me it is tasty! Charlie is nuts to turn his nose up at such a treat - especially since it was caught by a member of his family!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some serious fishing skills your preteenbean has! Lucky you, getting to try some freshly caught fishies.
ReplyDeleteWow - sounds yummy to us and your bean actually caught the fishies!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I loves fish! You are so lucky to have a fish catcher in the family! Good job! Yum Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteOMC! How delishus. Yoo are SO lucky!
