As much as i would like to highlight that I still think fishing is a cruel sport. I got to say i did had some fun today doing some prawn fishing.
Went to this place called the Bottle Tree Park with Lulin after work today. (For pictures of that place please refer to Bran's Blog). That's the problem with working in SAF, No camera and no camera phones.
Anyways with 2.5hr and a single rod. 15 prawns ended up in the net. Most of the catches are of course contributed by Lulin think i got only 3 or 4 catch. Perhaps I'm simply too impatient. Hence, I rely more on luck than skills.
Anyways, while we were at it. I was just thinking what are we supposed to do with the prawns. Then I realised most ppl will just cook it on the spot. BBQ it while its still alive. Just seems a bit weird to kill ur catch like that. I'm more used to cooking things that are already dead like those i buy from supermarket. Just seems a bit cruel.
Nevertheless, in the end we just cooked 1 giant prawn (MY CATCH) Seeing it turn from grey to orange, from violent struggle to motionless death. Tasted quite good though. Guess thats how fresh prawn is supposed to be like.
You must be wondering what's gonna happen to the other 14 prawns. Nope I did not set them free, although I am supposed to be a Buddhist. Realised that they will just be caught again if i put them back into the pond. So right now they are frozen in my freezer. Maybe tmr I'll cook them just like the normal prawns I buy back from supermarket.
