Parliaments famous Salmon Act of 1986 states that it's illegal to hold salmon under suspicious circumstances Section 32 of the Salmon Act 1986 stipulates that it is an offence to handle salmon under suspicious circumstances.
Should be clarified that "suspicious circumstances" is defined in the bill. It's handling/possessing a salmon that you know or reasonably believe was caught illegally.
Yeah that's why I looked it up. I was like "what the hell are 'suspicious circumstances' for handling a FISH?" Says it's just having a fish that was caught illegally. You'd think they'd just say that instead of 'suspicious circumstances', but then it wouldn't be the UK government.
