From left to right: That's Clarence happily holding two decent-sized Snapper caught within seconds of each other; John with a table-sized Barra at night; Yup, that's Chris Soule with what's probably his last Singaporean fish to date, a Garoupa; Clarence with a hard-pulling Giant Catfish (tastes like Tenggiri too!!) and some Snapper; Desmond with a solid 2 kilo plus Garoupa, many seasoned fishos' favourite fish; Guek Fa with a nice pre-dawn Barra. JUST LOOK AT THOSE SMILES!!!

So what's your favourite...
...fish? Well, locally, I've got two categories of favourites: Best Fighting; and Best Eating. My favourite fighter would undoubtedly be the GT, such a pity huge specimens are so rare in our waters. However, the favourite eating fish would be the Garoupa... such tender, tasty, white flesh...mmmmmmmmm mmmm.

But realistically, if I had to choose a favourite fish that is reasonably abundant in our waters and has good fighting as well as eating qualities, I'd choose the Snapper. They don't only fight well and taste good, but they look good and are dependable (as in, there's a high chance of catching them) as well.

Sometimes, while fishing locally, I try to remind myself that beggars can't be choosers, so even the odd Catfish might bring a smile... and sometimes there's even a little tender spot for the much-despised Stargazer (or Kukup) too.

Whatever it is, to each his own . If you say your favourite fish is the Eel, I'd say "Good choice mate!" coz it's only right that we all grow to respect each other's views, be it on Favourite Fish, Catch and Release, Most Effective Rig, or Most Powerful Deodorant.
