Stick in the bath in clean water for three or four days to clean it out. Apparently they taste muddy otherwise.

I'm not entirely sure. Our Polish Lodger told me about it. It's what they do with the Christmas Carp, apparently. Perhaps you shower, with the fish nibbling your toes? And then change it's water?

I've been diving with pike ... they kind of hover at the perifery of your vision, moving slowly and stealthily with you.

So I'm told.

I think I have a vague recollection of an early River Cottage where Huge cooked pike - he did something similar, ie, keeping it in clean water for a few days before killing it.
