Freshwater / Pond Water

[kopend]

what is the difference between freshwater / pond water and river water

and can you eat fish from them all ?

[Zacs-Master]

I would be a little cautious about eating fish from a domestic pond. Freshwater generally means rivers or commercial fish farms (although there are saltwater fish farms also).

[Old_Geezer]

Only if the gamekeeper doesn't catch you.

[Chipchopper]

My short answer would be yes, as long as the water is not polluted and the fish is thoroughly cooked.

I have eaten Pike and Perch from the river Lea (Sshhhh, don't tell the bailiff - but it was long ago) and they were delicious. Carp used to be a great delicacy in this country and still is in some eastern European countries.

However, I would avoind a 'pond' fish - they can taste awfully muddy.
