ON 29 May 1928, dozens of small reddish-coloured fish fell on the roof of a house in County Down during a thunderstorm. The owner, James McMaster, Drumhirk, near Comber, said they were mostly about two inches long. Surrounding hedges were blackened as if they had been struck by lightning. There was no river nearby, and Strangford Lough was over two miles away. Could this be the ledgendary Comber fish... "Seranus cabrilla" .?
