Fish

[Samwise]

If you ever get a chance to try caviar, then by all means take it. It looks disgusting (a mass of little black sturgeon eggs) and it's ridiculously expensive, but it tastes amazing. I had it once when someone took me and my family out to this really expensive restaurant, and I'll probably never have the luxury of eating it again.

I've had shark fin soup before, and it was pretty good. It tastes more like meat than like fish though, but I guess that depends on the species of shark.

Squid, small octopus, anything with tentacles is good, I think. I like crab too, but my family used to buy live ones and boil them alive. That was more than a little disturbing...

Every time I buy tilapia, there's usually a deep fryer nearby where the workers fry it. That's the only way I know how to prepare it. I have heard people say that they cut it up into fillets, but really, it's such a small fish. How big can those fillets be? Good luck preparing it. Since I've only seen it deep fried, it must be pretty hard to fry it. (Although I don't cook very well, so I wouldn't know too much)

Regarding squid, I don't remember ever buying it for myself. Usually I just go to a restaurant and order it on the table. That too is deep fried, but since it's much smaller than tilapia, you can deep fry it yourself. Calamari is more of an appetizer than an actual main dish, but I have seen it served either way. Remember the vinegar!

Is caviar really that good, Samwise? When it comes to food, I get picky about what it looks like, so I've never bothered to try caviar. But next time it's offered to me, and then I'll give it a go.

You said that in your first post that you didn't like smoked salmon. Well, i like salmon, smoked or otherwise. But if Salmon isn't something you would like... Hope you don't object to tuna.

I have had squid. I like it. It's chewy and stringy, so hopefully you don't hate stringy or chewy food. :wink:

Red snappers are good as well.

Living in Australia, having fish is not a problem. There are Fish and Chips store on every block. I might be exaggerating though. It might be in one out of every two blocks. :roll:

you got to watch out for some ocean fish that are higer on the food chain, they contain higher amounts of Mecury. also some fish like some Cod and the "Chillan Sea Bass" are being over fished.

there is also guilt to be had, lots of seals and Cetacean species die not just in nets but just killed "because they take the fish", farm raised salmon face the same as cattle, fish are feed fish parts and there is over crouding. Farm rasied cat fish tastes great...but do you really want to know where they live/eat? let alone natually, the're scavangers like the lobster. thats why the're tasty...no corn feed snooze fests here. Tilpa is a mild fish, farm rased a lot.

it depends on what you are looking for...some shoping marets have a little book thing so you can reserch fish. some fish are firm fleshed some flaky, Monkfish is firm, flounder not, don't grill a flounder, but girll a shark! oOh and sharks, some i hear "urinate" through their skin so they are inedible. anway happy fish eating.

Broiling it works well too. And it's a healthy alternative to frying.

Ahhh yes the Western Coast of Canada, my home where I have come to enjoy the many styles of making fish here. I mean we have had salmon at one time or another coming out the wazzoo, so I have plenty to choose from when it comes to various fish dishes. However I have never really brought myself to like sushi for some reason, probably considering the fact that it makes me gag. I am not quite sure why, but it just never seems to sit in my stoumach very well. However, maybe it just takes a bit of time to get used to it and I will try it again some time. However now is not such a time.

I would say more about dishes, but frankly it's 3am, and the last thing I need is to want to eat now.

I love sushi so much, funny to think my favorite way of eating fish is to eat it raw. A couple nights ago a friend and I went to the local sushi restaurant, where I ordered 18 pieces of sushi, but my friend ordered 26! When the waitress delivered his order, the massive order of sushi came on a large wooden boat instead of a plate. His wallet ended up hurting him more than the meal on his stomach - he paid 45 dollars for one meal! The only negative part of sushi would have to be the price.

Yeah I have heard that at times, sushi can be incredibly expensive, which already is one of the things I dont like about Sushi. Aside from of course the fact that it tends to make me sick to my stoumach whenever I try to sit down, and eat it. I actually think that forty some dollars for a dinner of that sort might even be considered on the cheap side. Odd as that sounds, it could very well be true, however I cant really say for sure either way. I have never wanted to really eat that much sushi. Did your friend, at the very least enjoy his entire 45 dollar meal? If he did, then it was at the very least pretty well worth the cost of it, if he hadnt then he truly wasted $45.

I have to agree. Ordering a lot of sushi but having to pay only $45 in the end sounds pretty cheap. Sushi is one of my favourites and when me and friends go out to eat in a local Japanese restaurant, we often tend to tip over $45 quite easily. When we split the bill fairly, I usually spend $15 - 25. The highest I ever paid for Japanese food was around $40 and dude, that was only for my share! >__< (thankfully, that only happened once. =__= )

I never had a disliking for fish. Maybe because I've always eaten it ever since I was a kid and taking it as part of a daily meal. ^__^; Also, I was taught that fish is not only good for diet, but also it's good for healthy looking skin. So I keep eating fish just for the sake of that, hahaha! :D
