Controversy erupts in the Fish of the Year election! 🚨

Jono Ridler (the swimmer breaking a record by swimming the length of the North island to raise awareness against bottom trawling) has been entered as a candidate for FOTY 2026.

You get 3 votes. Give one to Orange Roughy, please, and then maybe another to Jono.... if you think he makes a good fish.
