So your Monster has passed on...what now?

This question is on my mind today. Why? I have no idea since none of my fish should be dying anytime soon, but its on my mind non the less.

So your big 2-3ft+ fish dies (with all the aro's, rtcs pacu's, tsn out there this must happen commonly), what do you do with the body. I cant really see just putting such a massive corpse out with the trash would be ok. I would think you could bury it, but with all the zoning law's I was told this is illegal in most zones. You could freeze the body (if you have an extra freezer lying around) but that's only delaying the inevitable.

So for all you MFK's who have lost a large fish (sorry for your loss), what do you do with the body?

so there is no reasonable way to dispose of the fish other than fert or taxidermy? They has to be a common method, only way I can see is cutting it up and trash (or feed to other fish if applicable).

Vikings would never let you waste a fish.... Prepare the fire!

But I like the idea of it going back into the earth myself.
