| Hi Just to let you know I have talked to my cousin and he has not come across this so while I'm away he is going to talk to the lobster men and some others to see if thay know what this is. I'll keep you posted. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has found this? Rustferret |

| Hi. Did you take them out of broken off/ lost lobster pots?, which often contain crunchie fish. Trouble with them is they may have spent many weeks filter feeding anything that gets swept into the pots, causing the meat in them to be a funny color and a bit jelly like. Best to cut open the pots so other coruscations don't get caught and just set any caught ones free so they can feed properly and get back to normal!. But there again if the pot looks as though it hasn't been lost long, they will be OK to eat.

| CEFAS (Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science) might be a better contact point than DEFRA. CEFAS are an agency of DEFRA and as far as i know, they look after everything fishy.
