me too, and not about food.

swordfish is one of the fish you should be avoiding if you care about over fishing of that particular species. Just sayin

Yeah, I heard about that but I only get to eat it once, maybe twice a year. So I'm not the problem. There was a ban on grouper down here many years back. I believe it eventually got lifted.

Jelly fish, Beijing duck, dumplings, this tasty fish that got devoured by the locals, and about 10 other dishes.

People eat jelly fish?

Delicious. I only got one bite. By the time I realized how good it was, it had made its way over to the other side of the table and one of the locals finished it off.

Eeeeow! I wouldn't eat cat fish for decades because all I could think of was furry cats. I am affected by advertising and names so easily because they're visual.

So what was the texture like? Look like it'd be blubbery.

I thought it might be mucoid in texture, but it wasn't. The texture was firmer, like a very thick gelatin. The surface was also not as smooth as I expected. Some of it had a roughness similar to a fried egg cooked in extra hot grease to where it blisters on the bottom.

you don't eat swords do you?

That's one thing I never visualized—fortunately. Just the sword on the snout of a swordfish. I've seen the whole fish before but usually the whole belly in fish markets in New England.

As of last summer, I got the courage to try cat fish though. It was delicious and not fuzzy-tasting at all. 'Er well, at least I didn't visualize a cat in my mind when eating it.


Doubt I'll ever get to this though:

Old Chicago wings.

And Old Chicago beer!

Ditto... Just got back to lifting (which is like 90% cardio at this point [UGH!!!!]), and need to knock off a few pounds...

Cumin-crusted chicken thighs and legs.

Sounds salty. (Or so I've heard). ;)
