A "plaice" is a type of fish, which is where the joke lies (also, the guy is a fisherman named "Gill"). Also yes, the story does imply that Gill murdered the man in the fishing net, but past that, it's up to your imagination. Thanks for the feedback.

I know of a fish gill, but I don't know of a plaice. They aren't a commercial fish in these parts. I think it's too subtle a joke.
