Everyone eats fish. Fish is used as a protein base for animal feedstuffs and as a fertiliser for vegetables (it counts as "organic")

IIRC at one point in time the largest ever Thresher recorded in the UK was caught at Great Yarmouth (I'm going back to the 70s) it was caught in a trammel net and was 50m off the shore at South Beach. Water depth there would have been a couple of meters at most....

Eeeek!! Off to buy a big knife!!

Ah, you see, I never take things like that as I don't want to get a big pinch from their claws!

Plus, I wouldn't know what to do with it when I got it home.
