eel (capitone) in Italy
The capitone is offered during the Christmas eve dinner which only consists of fish courses.

Moussia, Italy
Roast Eel, Capitone Arrosto
This is a classic Christmas Eve dish from Altamura, in northwestern Puglia, Italy.
I remember in Germany we also have eel as a favorite winter fish, because of its fat.
In Japan, as we saw above, the eel is eaten in the middle of the summer heat.

blue and silver fish --
but for the ferry wait
unnoticed
In Norway last summer, having left the bus and waiting for the ferry across a splendid sunny fjord, I had leisure to look deeply into the clear waters at the landing stage.
Once my eyes had got used to the shadows, I noticed tiny blue and silver fish living their lives below, undisturbed by us and by the occasional traffic.

SLEEK DARTING FISHES
a rengay
sleek darting fishes
weave in and out of my dreams
sunlight caresses
three naked children run
from real and imagined crabs
in aquamarine rock-pools
reflections flicker - are gone
seaweed gently swirls
sea breeze
mum on an airbed
floats out with the tide
the horizon tilts;
on-shore fishermen pause
ocean’s edge
teenagers promenade
casting their spells

From Zhanna P. Rader
Под тонким ледком
играет краснопёрка –
любопытство пса.
Red-finned fish
plays under a thin ice -
the dog's curiosity.
***
Fighting the currents,
brook trout reach the gravel bed -
their mating dance.
Борясь с течением,
форель достигает мелководья -
её свадебные танцы . . .
***
Scuba-diving...
The fish nibble
at my skin.
В воде с аквалангом. . .
Рыба щиплет мне
кожу.
***
Rippling bay -
striped mullet leap
from the water.
В заливе рябит -
полосатая кефаль
выпрыгивает из воды.
***
Black heron's wings
become an umbrella -
fish seek the shade.
Крылья чёрной цапли
раскрываются зонтами -
рыба спешит в их тень.
***
Lakeside campfire –
the aroma of fish soup
gathers the family.
Костёр на озере -
аромат ухи
собирает всю семью.
***
Office lunch –
a hawk comes to the window
with a fish
(Canadian Zen Haiku canadien, vol. 2, #4, 2004)
Обед на работе –
ястреб прилетает с рыбой
и садится на окно.
***
На ныряльщице
модный купальник -
рыба пучит глаза.
A snappy swimsuit
on the woman diver -
the snappers just stare.
(World Haiku Review, 2005, #1)
***
Night ebbing tide -
a man on the pier fishes
for large snook.

because you caught it,
I slice the fish's belly;
the sundeck reddens
silver streaked sky --
we surfcast for striped bass
off the Atlantic

Tilapia from the Philippines
The tilapia is a freshwater fish that is considered to be one of the healthiest fish to eat. It has soft white meat that is not wild in taste, but delicate. And it has a lot of bones. It is usually baked and eaten with rice. It looks like a cross between a big mouth bass and a blue gill.
those eyes!
a tilapia
stares at me
from the wet slab
with no tomorrow

Hungry tilapia
gamely bites the bait
of the fishing rod.
Willie Bongcaron, Manila, April 2008
These fish are also found in China and Africa.
The Genus Tilapia
is endemic to warm waters throughout the world. The aquaculture, or fish farming, of Tilapia is recorded in human history as far back as ancient Egypt. Tradition holds that the Tilapia was the fish that Jesus used to feed the five-thousand on the Sea of Galilee - thus one of its common names, "St. Peter's Fish." Tilapia is also referred to as "The Wonder Fish" and "Nile Perch."

KENYA
Where Kenya is concerned, Tilapia and Nile Perch are two of the mostcommon fish, both living and fished in Lake Victoria -- and indeed,both exported to Belgium for consumption here. They are bothdelicious!
In Kenya, there would seem to be no particular season linked witheither or both of these fish, as they are available and good to eatall year round. However, they could be a non seasonal topic, sincethey play a major economic role in the lives of the people near LakeVictoria. Indeed, even those frying them in the street stalls of Nairobi, hail from Western Kenya and are "fish" people.

Tilapia in the Philippines
On January 11, 2008, the Cagayan Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) stated that tilapia production grew and Cagayan Valley is now the Philippines’ tilapia capital. Production supply grew 37.25% since 2003, with 14,000 metric tons (MT) in 2007. The recent aquaculture congress found that the growth of tilapia production was due to government interventions:
provision of fast-growing species, accreditation of private hatcheries to ensure supply of quality fingerlings, establishment of demonstration farms, providing free fingerlings to newly constructed fishponds, and the dissemination of tilapia to Nueva Vizcaya (in Diadi town).
