George "Fish" Smart (died 1909) was a fen skating champion for a decade from 1878. He gained his name from his swimming prowess. His father, Charles Smart, cousin of Fen Skater Turkey Smart, had been a fast skater but had never mastered the art of slowing down for the barrel turn so had never featured in racing. Fish Smart's younger brothers Jarman Smart and James Smart were also top skaters. Over a ten-year period, Fish Smart was virtually unbeatable. He was a popular sportsman; a poem was composed in his honour and a racehorse was named after him. He was primarily active in the era now known as the "Golden Age of Fen Skating".
