Fresh Fish is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
The fishermen of Sodor have landed their biggest catch ever, so Thomas is ordered to help Arthur take the fish to the Docks. At the Fishing Village, much to Thomas' disgust, he sees trucks stacked full of fish. Arthur warns Thomas to only take five trucks at a time, but Thomas wants to get the job done quickly so he takes all fifteen trucks at once! Along the way, the trucks decided to have some fun; they bounced about sending fish flying into Thomas' face! Next, the trucks make Thomas go too fast down hill and they collide with Salty who is waiting at a signal. Salty didn't mind the fish, but, unlike Salty, Sir Topham Hatt isn't happy and he makes Thomas finish the job safely. It takes Thomas all day, but eventually he finishes. Later, the Fat Controller praises him, but Thomas doesn't hear him - he has rushed to the wash down to get rid of the fishy smell!
