What are these "Bass" that people keep talking about

 

 

Big shiney blue fish that you used to find under the Pier

Come on, surely they are just an urban legend like dragons and chesters

Apparently they can only be found outside of 12 miles.

 

And then only in the nets of French trawlers.

Nope I've seen one once. It was being held by a Yetti.

I don't normally eat bass as I am not that keen on the taste. However big ones do barbecue nicely.

 

Soak loads of newspapers in a big bucket of water. Just gut the fish. Wrap the wet newspapers around the fish, keep doing this till you have a huge bundle about 3 times the original size of the fish. Put it on the barbecue. As the newspaper burns off, turn the bundle. When your down to the last layer of newspaper peel it off the fish. The scales and skin should come off with the paper leaving you with a nicely steamed bass with a smokey flavor to it.

 

It works with turbot and dogfish as well.

I should imagine they would be better, smaller , like the sardines you get in Portugal , 1/2 doz to cover a slice of toast :-)

10lb bass are a bit tough - only good for the cat, or if you're a keen coarse angler, you could leave them outside for a handy supply of pinkies.
