Sir, - "Y" recently wrote about the "vanishing pollan".
May I put his mind at rest? The pollan fish is still alive and kicking - somewhere, since they are on sale fresh and filleted, in season, at Lurgan fish market.
The vendor hails from Kilkeel, but it is odd that the trade in Belfast "has not seen one for years". - Yours etc.,
