Summary

It was night time at the harbor, Henry was getting ready to take the flying kipper, but all they had were old cars, Duck shunted them. Thomas warned Duck about fish, knowing from his own experience. 

Soon Henry left, when he got to the station he tooted a special whistle that let Duck know it was time to help shunt the train up Gordon's hill. half way up, Duck thought something was wrong, then the tail lamp fell off, Henry thought the train was heaver. 

Then Duck smashed in to the back of the train, he could smell the fish. The next day Sir Top Ham Hatt told Duck it wasn't his fault because the tail light wasn't fixed on properly. Duck informed Sir Top Ham Hatt that he got him self in the right pickle. 

Review

This episode seems to be a rewrite of The Flying Kipper, Sir Top Ham Hatt had some of the same line's from that episode when he talked to Duck. When Thomas was talking to Duck it seemed like he was teasing him, but he wasn't. Sir Top Ham Hatt's face was cross looking when he was taking to Duck, but then it changed to a smile after. 

Over all I give Fish a 5/10
