Ludwigia Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks everyone! I'm proud to have turned out to be the winner here because this fish was up against some very fine competition. Also your comments about the preparation are very encouraging, since this was the first time for me that I had tried anything on this scale of difficulty. Although I was the one that brought it to the light of day, the fish itself is the real winner here. Best wishes, Roger Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
