    It's been a while since I shopped in a Chinese
    market for canned fish - seldom enough in any
    kind of market. I don't recall the label as you
    describe it, though Swisher had dragged me to
    the Green Apple or Red Apple or something, which
    had an extensive variety of canned goods including
    fishes and corned mutton and similar deliosities.
    But this isn't fish, it's eel... ;) ok, quibbling... ;) The can itself

    Eel is a proper subset of fish. Doesn't much look
    right, I admit.

    is primarily red and gold, and the picture of the Old Fisherman is
    rather small and tucked into a corner of the flat side of the can, with
    a red and yellow checked background for that corner... I've not seen it
    in any regular grocery stores, and not even at all the different Asian markets around here....

    Still not sure I've seen the brand. The ones I have
    noted tend to have pictures of fish on the cans.

    I've also bought another called (I think) Spicy Roast Eel... the difference being the amount of capsicum in each... The sauce in the
    milder version still has a little kick to it, the other more so... but
    not really a lot of difference between them.... both are tasty... :)
    Not a big surprise that.
    Which, the not much difference, or the both are tasty....?

    Both, plus the one labeled spicy being spicier.

    Ian and Jacquie have a white peach tree, and so
    we have had more sugared peaches over here - after
    some time without satisfactory peaches, there's
    this abundance now, for which I am thankful.
    That sounds quite yummy.... :) There was a nice bowl of cut-up peaches
    as a possible sundae topping last night after the evening service... we
    had an ice cream social to send off one of our young men to a new job in Harrisburg PA...

    Turns out they also have a yellow peach tree - we
    later had a compote that had both colors, mixed.
