If you must know, my Silverbeet tree is named Rupert.... I tore off a few limbs the other night... He didn't feel a thing.... They grew back though...

Jezzz... Rupert must be tough

Sliced up, steamed. Then 2 eggs, nuked in the microwave. Topped with tomato, a bit of cheese and breadcrumbs... Voila... Quick snack...

Hey, that's my recipe ....

This silverbeet plant has the knowin' of a lot of things...

I drop my fish in ice water before cleaning, and let them rest there for a half hour. Kills them quickly so they don't wiggle during cleaning. Safety precaution.

Those of us who don't have trout can print and fold some!

What will they think of next. I noticed they are all named, like mine. there is Almondine, Smoke, Pate just to name a few.

Don't think it will do much good plunging your trout in ice water, they love the cold..

wouldn't it just be quicker to apply the knife?

The sudden shock will kill them, I think. Even it it is typically a temperature that they could take if they acclimated to it gradually as in nature.

The tilapia are so wiggly, and actually will vibrate on the cutting board, that I find a need to slow them down before applying a knife.

Alex has been fishing all his life and just does it before you blink. Knife, pressure, fish inna bucket

I always snap their necks right away. Is the method I have always used for fishing. Just put your fingers into gill area and pull head right back.

My swedish bro-in-law taught me when I was 5 to kill whiting by putting head in mouth, upward flick of wrist, remove dead fish and spit. Mum was horrified by my macho display
