Radio 4 Friday 11:00 The Case of the Missing Burbot
The missing what? Yes, the burbot. Not of course to be confused with the turbot. Like the turbot, however, it is indeed a fish, but it's small and rather ugly: like a short, fat eel. Or rather was, for it's now believed to be extinct. But hearsay evidence suggests otherwise.

A quirky piscatorial detective story, The Case of the Missing Burbot follows fisherman, writer and amateur naturalist Chris Yates in a quest to track down this elusive specimen.
