In this episode we go to Peel - to hear memories of fishing for herrings and producing kippers, as David Callister talks with Eddie Leece - famous as the founder of a museum devoted to Peel history, which became known as The Leece Museum.
John Kennaugh chats with Callin Hudson to find out how herrings came to Dalby, and Peter Canipa, who ran Deveraux's kipper curing business, shares some fascinating facts and cookery tips in his Mandate report from July 1989.
There's also a bit of fishing-themed music from The Mannin Folk
