Let's take a poll: How many members here eat fish?

[jenatron]

Well. I was vegetarian since '06. But I've been in such poor health I decided maybe I should try eating some fish/seafood. So I've been in between vegetarian and pescetarian for a couple of months now. It hasn't helped (it's actually made things a little worse! hah, the irony!) so I'm probably going back. It was a last resort and I don't like it. So put me on the no fish side.

Love it. Even the goldfish crackers. They're the snack that smiles back.

I prefer the Whales. They're cheesier.

They're not fish, bit sometime I do feel a little guilty eating blue crabs. I'm in VA and we do blue crabs here in the summer like nobody's business. Sometime I do take a step back when we walk into a crab house and there's literally thousands of blue crabs layed out across the tables. Can't help eating them though...they're just so darn good.

I like fish, but I don't like buying and boiling live seafood. Only because my dad once bought a bunch of live lobsters when I was seven, and my dad named them, allowed me to play with and become attached to them, only to tell me that I couldn't keep them and promptly snatched them away and dropped them in boiling water. I cried. I'm fine with crabs though. That was because one pinched me last summer at the beach... I started bleeding. Now I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!! (my dad wasn't a bad parent... Just had a bit of a stupid moment.)

I love fish too. Can't beat a freshly caught smallmouth bass or rainbow trout.

For- 20 Against- 3 (only 1 for semi ethical reasons)

<--- full fledged, card carrying carnivore.

We have fish once a week. When I come home from work I always ask the hubby "what's for dinner", when he says fish, I tell him "Shhhh don't let THEM hear that".

 

[Fishies86]

I don't eat any seafood. I cant stand the flavour :/ bleh!

 

[posleen103]

Dogs not bad, and cat actually tastes pretty good. What can I say I"m an omnivore. I spend a lot of time on my plants as well. I grow watercress in a 30 gallon with guppies.

Fish are yummy!!!!!1

I don't 100% avoid it but very little...the mercury levels concern me. I have a child with autism and it's not really known for sure what role mercury might play in autism so I think it's best to avoid..I definitely do not eat it when pregnant/nursing and I don't want to feed it to my kids. I do eat trout we catch from local safe sources. I also have ethical issues with some of the commercial fishing practices.

 

[siva]

Not only do I eat it, I like to go catch a nice rainbow/lake trout and bring them home or on a camp out for dinner.

+1 for beef & chicken too .

We have fish (of course ), a dog, a horse and if my daughter had her way a snake too.

We have dogs and cats and fish obviously... we had rats, hamsters, hedgehogs, chinchillas, snakes, frogs, ...... I feel like a pet store, LOL!

So we're at 26 For, 4 Against. Still nobody that doesn't eat it based on the fact that they have an aquarium. I'm actually shocked. For some reason I thought it was going to be like asking a PETA forum if they eat meat

 

[Deckape]

I think its interesting too.

PETA believes aquariums are cruel torture Off topic I know but I saw PETA and it came to mind.

 

[Tasha]

What is PETA?

 

[eco23]

What is PETA?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I overall agree with a lot of the stuff they believe in, but they take it way too much to the extreme.

 

[adadkins1]

People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals. It is an organization that believes people are too cruel to animals. At least that is how I see it in a nutshell.
