Casting With Ceri Jones : Episode 206: Andrej Urosevic

Hi guys, I'm always looking to up the game and occasionally doing something different for the podcast and this week is one of those episodes.

This week I chatted with Andrej Urosevic. He is known for his cooking ability specialising in fish. Over the last 2 years or so he has hit social media by storm in his goal of cooking every fish in the world. He has over 5 million views and just over half a million followers on Instagram (andrejcooksfish) His hook you can say is entertaining viewers by slapping each fish he cooks!

Although he has fished since a young boy he only recently taken up fly-fishing and shares his knowledge and advice on cooking Trout, Perch and Grayling!!!
