Whole Raw Herring

[GeorgieB]

Hi guys!

On a bit of an impulse down at my local supermarket, I bought a whole herring (aka tommy rough) 100g for $1.50 for Reggie.

I don't know a lot about fish, I sometimes give her tinned sardines though these are obviously different to raw whole fish.

Is there anything I need to do to the fish before I give it to her? I was worried about fins? or maybe spines I don't know about

just watch she doesn't roll in them. Dunno mine will happily eat tinned sardines but the few times I have tried to give them a whole sardine they have both turned their noses up at them.

Oh no, I hope she doesn't look at me like I'm crazy! At least if she turns her nose up at it, I didn't waste my money on the big king george whiting next to it :laugh:

Well I cut off some of the fins as they seemed a little spikey to me. Reggie quite enjoyed it :) Took her 15 minutes and no rolling in it thankfully.. unless she's rolling in the grass where she ate it, while I'm not looking! :laugh:
