Usually, fish farms "purge" their fish in clean water before processing.


I was talking (typing) to a guy who successfully raised prawns in a pond. He pre-sold them to a bunch of his friends. Harvest day arrived and people were there to sample. He said they tasted like the water smelled sick Asked him if he purged them first, he said no, I said to try that next time, he said there won't be a next time!
