Happy days mate, looking forward to this 👌

Great video , great fish , and as you said very delicate tasting. Nice video as well...😊

Great job, I used to work a trammel net many years ago but it had wooden poles each end to keep it standing up in the sea 🐟🐟🐟.

It is so good that such small boats can scratch a living. If only there was an international maximum size for commercial fishing boats the future would be more sustainable and secure.

Enjoyed that and I agree it was a selective method of harvest and some by catch return. next time you get a sole try dry aging it in the fridge for a couple of days before cooking it. Really improves the flavor. Wrap in newspaper or paper towels and leave it in the fridge.

infact the buy catch on the bigger boats is less as there working closer in lot of buy catch young that are growing in shallow water gill nets are one worse methods for catching buy catch people moan about trawlers with the right escape grids in there most young fish go out now so befor you make comments like think what guy catch big boats have get facts correct im skipper owner of a big boat so i now what im talking about

That’s very interesting! Thanks for the info

To many ingredients spoils the natural flavour of the sole which has a delicate flavour

Leave the seas alone

I really can't decide how I feel about commercialnet fishing. I can't help but dislike it and feel it isn't fishing, just catching anything that swims but at the same time I understand that if all fish was line caught, It would cause a hike in fish prices. This smaller scale definitely isn't as bad as the super trawlers but still unsure how I feel

As you seen from the video that in incorrect mate it’s a flatfish net , almost everything that came up lives on the bottom , not free swimming fish 👍 it’s more selective thing you realize

Often watch your videos, and a subscriber. Pretty poor to see you using a trammel net, very unethical for the fish, basically a glorified gill net...
