We seem to treat more informal fish names differently too. We have a native fish here in New England that we always caught when we were children, back when children always caught fish, that we called a kivver, and one would never say "throw all the kivver back in"- even though we always threw them back in. :)

Thanks ixion. Great clip from one my favourite programmes. And thanks for the votes aristo, ab and gk. Commiserations to mattrom, whose clue I thought was the pick of many really good entries.

I wasn't expecting the discussion about fishy plurals. Where else, other than this forum? All I can say is that it sounded right to me.

A final thanks to all for taking part.

Just seen your post 57 ab. Love it.

I’ll be back next Thursday. I’m going to be out during the day so will post earlyish in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Well done, Peterm! The votes from yourself, Claxby and Les are much appreciated.
Actually, the downside of winning is that you don't get to enter next week :-)

Thanks to Ixion for hosting and a productive word and to Chris for standing in.
