Still unsure why this bag of small pastry has a strange bug on the front but it's great news!

Just completed the Canadian census. They have question on sex assigned at birth (male/female) followed by gender (male/female/other-please specify), which is progress.

but they still say "husband or wife of X" for relationship instead of changing it to/including "spouse".

i appreciate the steps forward even though there's still more to be done

"Wild caught" from fisheries.

Yeah I'm constantly baffled by the weasel wording on packaging about food and naturally sourced products. I basically only eat meat once in a while because my doctor makes noises at me if I don't, and it's mostly fish, but the fishing industry is just :psypop:

I tried to get wild caught Pacific halibut the other day, bc it's still more sustainable than Atlantic, but when I asked about it the girl at the fish counter was like "it's from the west coast near Boston" and I gave up and bought snapper.

Yeah they could clear up that language for sure. I understand wanting to know how many people did a ceremony and/or signed some papers (married spouse) vs how many did not (common law spouse), even if there's no real legal distinction between the two. So maybe they should replace "husband or wife of x" with "married spouse of x" or something.

Buying seafood, even (especially?) "fresh" , anywhere that isn't coastal is depressing.

Hot take: salmon actually loving sucks usually. Even if it's prepared perfectly, it's boring and needs stuff.

this is very true. I loved smoked salmon/gravlax, but otherwise gimme a chicken breast and a fish pill for half the price and calories and extra deliciousness.

Chicken thighs are the superior chicken parts. Also healthier for women who might have slight anemia issues.

Its better than tilapia imho

Randy Travesty

I'm just saying, there's way more interesting fish, cheaper, out there that is guaranteed to be wild caught, fresher and not loving boring. Mix it up. Go to an Asian grocery. Ask your butcher at your regular grocery. Google around. Ask me. There's literally plenty of fish in the sea, buddies. Eat the "gross" stuff too, I promise, it's delicious.

As a person who has spent most of their life food insecure, literally the best resource for me ever was finding out there was an Asian grocery that had fish and took EBT (when I very, very briefly qualified) near me. It was on a bus route.

No more garbage food after that and if you ask nicely they'll cut it to spec usually.

I really wish I could just get everyone I know housed, stably, with refrigerators and stoves. I would just give people food and teach them to cook. Until then I'll cook for them and they can stay at my house.

the thing that is usually called bluefish here is very oily and strong tasting and one of those fishes that make people say they don't like fish, but they can be pretty good if they're grilled

I'm not a fan of it grilled either. If it's put in front of me, I'll eat it, but I'll never order it. Grilled mackerel, for instance, is really popular here.

But its so heavily marketed as the "diet" fish that people ignore anything else about it.

I just took my wife to the drive thru and we had ice cream together.

And now she's in pain because we keep forgetting she's lactose intolerant.

It was sweet for a while, at least.

Mackerel is so good, but it absolutely has to be eaten same day fresh, or frozen immediately after catching (luckily it freezes pretty well because of the high fat content).
I used to cook it pretty frequently and always had some in the freezer, but have kind of gone off it for a while. I keep loving it up when I cook it and do it for too long. 15 minutes, not 18!
I think a big reason people "don't like fish" is its almost always overcooked, especially at restaurants where they aren't going to take any chances. But then, when you're buying a fish with no head, gills, or skin from a middle of the continent supermarket, lord knows how old it is, so that's another reason people cook the hell out of it.

I sometimes fantasize about smoking beef or fish in my tiny backyard.

Fresh water fish tastes better anyway and I say that as someone who doesn't really like fish.

smoked salmon can be pretty good but agree there is better fish

we have p good seafood here - snapper, whiting, red emperor, flathead, gummy shark, sardines, ocean perch, trevally and lots of others

best way to get em of course is to go fishing yourself but the fish markets here tend to be fresh and good

Now that i live near a coast I like to go to the seafood shop and see what's local that i haven't heard of (which is most of it cause i was never into fish when i lived inland) and ask the people there for cooking suggestions. It's been very successful and fun and yummy. Fav so far was probably black cod, marinated in miso and white wine, and lightly pan fried
