Cooking fish the danish way

THIS IS A FISH STORY

Did you hear of the stranger walking down the street in a small village. He met a fisherman with twelve large fish on a string. Could you show me how you get all that fish? The stranger asked. Sure said the fisherman, I get them in the lake just down the street. Why don't you meet me tomorrow morning and I will show you how to do it. The two men met the following morning, and went out in a boat. When on the lake, the fisherman took two sticks of dynamite out from under the seat, lit them and heaved them overboard. A big boom, and several fish were laying on the surface. I thought as much said the stranger. You are in trouble. I am the game warden. The fisherman took out two more sticks, lit them and put them in the wardens hand. Well are you going to fish or what he asked :-).
