I wrote to the winter homes of a couple of travelling fairs near me when I lived in Sandy (one in Biggleswade and one in Kempston) about this subject. Funnily enough, I didn't get a response and the next year they were still giving them as prizes. One of the LFS near Baldock (since closed) used to supply 500+ fish per week to the Biggleswade outfit!!
