Up and down the country I often notice an enormous difference in the quality of stocked trout. On some waters they are top class, fully finned and in perfect condition.
In other waters they are nasty excuses for trout with only a stump for a tail amongst other obvious deformities.
And then there are those fish whose fins are obviously deliberately cut or clipped for some reason.
Can I ask all stock fish suppliers to stop this hideous practice forthwith!! It's not bloody necessary!
With modern fish farming practices there is no reason whatsoever to supply nasty looking or deformed fish to fishery owners. Not only that, but fishery owners should also reject the rubbish.
