Ruriimasu 1st Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 Saw a couple of old men fish at kallang river, the stretch from behind the upper boon keng road. Is it legal to fish there? they caught a couple of good size fish as well, looked like a good past time when bored. Any idea if the fish is safe for consumption? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can but must clear up after fishing and by not throwing unwanted things into the river. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee 1st Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 Passing time perhaps, but could be more of a meal hunt for them. I've seen them basically everywhere the river runs and fish are spotted. For these fishing ah peks, last thing in their mind is whether it's legal or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcann 6th Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 (edited) Saw a couple of old men fish at kallang river, the stretch from behind the upper boon keng road. Is it legal to fish there? they caught a couple of good size fish as well, looked like a good past time when bored. Any idea if the fish is safe for consumption? I think they can only catch local snakeheads, Tilapias (pui , lousy eating fish) or tou sats (catfishes, even lousier tasting fish). Ever saw a man caught a small alligator gar before near my place. Didn't know such a ferocious fish exist in local rivers [sweatdrop] Must have been dumped by a pet owner... Well to answer your question yes they can be eaten safely but the question is will you be able to swallow mud tasting fishes?

Vulcann 6th Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 (edited) catfish ok leh Bro this type le: Source: http://www.istorya.net/forums/pet-discussi...ormation-8.html & not the expensive Pak Suk Kung variety: Source: http://perutbesi.blogspot.sg/2010/04/steam...urant-kota.html One of the worst tasting fish no matter how you prepare it although I know some folks like to cook it using sambal or asam to make it more palatable. Last time in kampong whenever we boys caught pond fishes such as these clowns, we would pass them to our parents who in turn cooked them to feed the pigs.

Watwheels Supersonic October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 Aiya, in the open sea, shipping vessels dump all kind of waste/faeces also. Sometimes even got oil spill. Look at the recent nuclear disaster at Fukushima, radiation pollution. Ppl also like to eat lobsters & crabs and they are scavengers of the sea bed eating mostly dead flesh of fishes and what's not. Compare that to Kallang River I think the fishes and crabs are better off here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 For what I know, Kallang River got a lot of Red & Black Talipia (aka Jipun Hu) ... Salted for black talipia or steam for red talipia .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it legal to fish there? they caught a couple of good size fish as well, looked like a good past time when bored. Any idea if the fish is safe for consumption? Eversince they converted the whole river to a reservoir, it is illegal to fish there. If kena caught by PUB staff, 1st time warning, then second time S$50 fine and above. I used to run my r/c boats ard there and PUB staff will walk up n check. I do see ppl still fish illegally there and sell the fish to ah nei. S$1-2 per fish, the size of my hands. Somewhere near ICA building there. They usually just put a hand line and tie to the railing and walk away nearby to wait for the catch. So if PUB guy appear, PUB also cannot link the fishing line to them. Its a cat n mouse game. I just keep quiet n observe only. However two weeks ago, at lower seletar reservoir, at the r/c boat deck, one guy was illegal fishing there when I reach. When I put my boat in the water, I told him my metal props will cut ur line, he told me why I must play here, cannot play there meh. This boat deck I personally wrote to PUB many many times to request for it and its a place for us to play our boats not for fishing. A huge sign there stated for playing boats and no fishing, with a PUB hotline number to dial. I heck care, just run my boat. If my props cut ur line, too bad. He quickly keep his line n left. Some ppl can be so unreasonable. A mth back some poly gina also fish there, but when I ran my boat, they keep their lines and were more interested in my r/c boats!!!
