We had some fish die in a bucket while I was cleaning the small pond they lived in. They were dead for about 2 hours before I realized it....possibly from a lack of oxygen. Is it still safe to eat these fish. I cleaned them right after finding them dead.
Depends what sort of fish- that is if they werent diseased. Most fresh-water fish are pretty grotty to eat. I once saw roach on sale in our local market so though what the hell- try anything once. Verdict- like eating muddy cotton wool stuffed with needles.
How did pond fish die from lack of oxygen being in a bucket? How long were they in there for and did you have them totally covered up preventing any oxygen flow?
Actually, Im still struggling to get over the whole eating your pet fish bit! lol Hmmm..... I fancy stir fried cat tonight!
