Do You Eat Fish?

[bruinsbro1997]

Yes, finally, a thread about eating fish!

As much as I love my fish, I can't help it that I'm a huge seafood person. I've eaten fish about every way you could possibly eat and prepare it (raw, seared, grilled, fried, pan-fried, baked, boiled, steamed) and I love it so much! Raw fish with some rice is best IMO, so long as it's sashimi-grade and fresh (which is why I always choose the Japanese restaurants when it's my turn where to eat). I also appreciate other seafood as well. I will eat clams, oysters, scallops, shrimp, lobster, crab, and calamari. I'm like a big human shark!

However, two sea creatures not meant for me.

1. Mussels. Talk about G-R-O-S-S. They're tough and not very good compared to clams.
2. Sharks. Just gross. I tried shark fin soup at a Chinese restaurant once, I hated it. Plus it seems wrong. Sharks are meant to be apex predators, not a delicacy. And you never know, karma could strike next time I go snorkeling

Any fish! Caught, bought, baked, fried, grilled, roasted, or canned as long as it doesnt have a hard shell.

 

[garfy]

Any fish tastes good except for anchovies yuuccckkkkk!!!!!!!

 

[Abigail]

No, I don't really like fish....

Just curious to see who eats fish and if people have thoughts about it.

I love just about all seafood. I always do catch and release for the fish that I catch myself (freshwater), however, some of my co-workers do deep-sea fishing and bring me fresh fish, which is amazing. I love to cook, too, so it's a win-win for me.

Fried tilapia and some Mac and cheese. Mmmmmmm . The best

Most fish for consumers these days is tank-farm/farm raised. Even the areas driect form the ocean, like clam beds, are "reseeded" with clams on a regular basis to keep up the "crop." It is only when we have incidents like the Deepwater Horizon that the open commercial growing areas are in danger of a lower yield.

I happen to love seafood, shellfish especially.

I love seafood, especially sushi. I do feel a little bad for keeping some types of fish and eating others though. I don't eat much other meat because I avoid factory farmed items, so fish is also a good protein source for me.

A good way to get away from the factory farmed food is to buy from a local farmer who you know the animals had a good life, and good death. That's what my family does.

I LOVE sushi!!!!!! Any salt water fish, and a lot of fresh water I really enjoy, as long as it isn't farm-raised.

Personally, I am very cautious about my fish choices because of sustainablility.

Personally, this is a fascinating topic. i long to be a vegetarian for moral (?) or ethical (?) reasons. I think that it is horrible to be bound to a planet where lifeforms must sustain themselves by taking the life of other lifeforms. I wish to be able to sustain myself on sunlight or something. But since I can't, I do eat occasional beef, pork, or lamb, AND I love shrimp, oysters, and crabs, and I DO eat the occasional fish such as salmon, or perch. But all in all, it is gut wrenching to me that I can't seem to become a vegetarian.

I do not like fish really. The only fish I have ever liked was smoked salmon but after three or four pieces, it wasn't that good. But don't get me wrong I know there are some fish if cooked properly should taste amazing. The only thing is, I am a picky eater. Fishing is also and awesome and a fun experience. Just the whole idea of feeling something on the other end and not really knowing what's it is. So much fun.

32 inches I forget how much it weighed. A little beaten from running up river.

I eat anything that swims! I've had pretty much any fish or shellfish I could get my hands on. Sustainability is a valid concern, but I'll try everything at least once. I have no concerns with morality though. Humans are omnivores and fish are fair game.

I've even had a blue/green colored parrotfish once(local chinese food store had some, couldn't resist).

I eat fish. I dont see why people could not eat a 2ft tuna because it reminds them of there yellow watchman goby. Lol, I won't, however, eat inverts that are endangered and belong out in a reef like urchins and sharks. I like shrimp, muscles(yum), fish, and lobster. Not a big crab guy. Ironically I hate the fishy smell and won't eat seafood that has it.

 

[rlboyce]

I like sushi, but nothing crazy--usually tuna as the fish, with crab/lobster. I like tilapia, flounder, white fish and have been known to eat a trout, catfish, or bass every once in a while.

I have no issue with fishing, eating fish and keeping fish. Pet fish and eatin' fish are kinda different.

 

[animalzrok2]

i am a vegetarian that doesn't eat fish, only because i feel way to bad for the fish or other animal.

Wow thats huge! I caught me a 6.3lb largemouth down at our pond last year!

 

[MrPillow]

Personally I have no problems eating any sort of meat whatsoever, be it cow, fish, dog....

 

[Hobgob]

That's awesome! We got the ausable river running through my town and get all sorts amid great fish. To be honest the only thing really in the river that j haven't got is a large mouth which I'm really jealous about! In the river though I've pulled out 3 pike, 4 smallmouth, 4 or 5 catfish, lots of rockbass and suckers. 2 walleye or pickerel depending on what you call it.

 

[WhiteWolf]

I would never eat a companion animal such as a cat or dog, for me this also includes horses and rabbits. Ever since having a rabbit as a pet I will not eat them. I also have a problem with people hunting predators. I guess you could call me a flexitarian.
