sheesh!
Foolish me, when I first read your title / subject
(obviously with the comments high in my mind about
having too many fish per gallon --- )

I thought it said "The fish are fried!"

Hmmm, guess I'm greatly relieved.
But suppose I'd be open to hear a decent recipe!
(Hey, some of mine are getting as big as sardines!)

The fish around here rarely get fed - this is a nature pond.
Today I saw all these black specs on top of the floating camboda
plants. Ah-ha! says I frog eggs! I wanted to bring some up to
the deck pond and watch them hatch and swim around.
Netted out the specs and they didn't behave like frogs eggs.
Brought them upstairs, put them in some water, turned on
the lighted magnifying glass. APHIDS!
Dratted fish should be over there nosing them out and chowing
down! I expect the growth of camboda is too thick in that end of
the pond. Saturday I'll turn the hose on and wash them over to the
clear water and let the feasting begin.

Yep!
Good workers who keep their snouts to the task,
do seem to be getting harder to keep!

Little fish in the North Atlantic are starving!
