Machrihanish 'fish runs' were once quite common.
.. had some live lobsters escape from one such in the back of one's Wessex once.
The "freight-deck executive" was not happy chasing them around, and I suspect some returned to the Irish Sea in free fall....
Got some lovely mackerel for free there once - the crab/lobster fishermen used them cut up as bait.
Was enjoying one for dinner in the Mess later that evening, when some one else joined the table as said to the steward:
"Mmmm, the mackerel looks good - I'll have that"
Cue aged retainer (Cecil IIRC):
"I'm sorry sir, they are for Mr Teeters and his crew and guests only ....!"
