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 God black cod is so good. And expensive. But worth it. Market near me sells cold smoked black cod and it's divine (but so, so expensive). |

a lot of fish is flash frozen when caught, so if there's no local fish you might consider buying frozen instead of thawed fish, this goes for shrimp especially I'm gonna be the contrarian re: salmon, it's easily available, harder to mess up cooking because of the fat content, it holds up to a grill, the skin is tasty, it's nice and flaky if not overcooked, and yeah it's better with some sort of rub or paste or salsa or what have you but even baked with a squeeze of lemon and some herbs I like it.

Zil posted:But its so heavily marketed as the "diet" fish that people ignore anything else about it. Ew, where? It's disgusting and like, I'm dead serious, it's environmentally disastrous. That said I actively avoid "dieting" bullshit because I have a wicked bad eating disorder and it's an uphill battle always. |

It's just not my thing. Give me proper lox or don't give me gd salmon. Also I still prefer whitefish, preserved, over lox any day. |

I think it's just because tilapia is cheap and abundant. Those are usually the two deciding factors for dieting people ime, it's "healthy" and cheaper than other "diet friendly" foods. |

I do endorse the sentiment though. flight training is such an awesome thing and I think it's wonderful that you are focusing on this. you said "relearning," did she originally learn to fly at the proper fledging age?

Yeah I get that, my partner is pretty anti-salmon unless it's fatty belly sushi or lox. I quite like it, if it's decent quality and cooked right. Also have you had salmon candy? That stuff is loving great. |

Judging by her landings, or crashes more like, I would say she did not. But she's getting better. I have to be careful though, because there's a fox in the neighborhood, and it has walked up to me and birb twice now, within arm's reach, and I've narrowed it down to two possibilities. It either is my spirit animal. Or it wants to make stomach friends with birb. |

Finger Prince posted: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've had it fresh with the head on and all. I'm just not a fan unfortunately. |

i had a tuna sammich for lunch today

my take on fish is if the answer to the question "did i, or someone i know, catch this fish" is yes i will eat it. otherwise tuna sammich and fish and chips are basically the extent of my seafood consumption. shellfish are bugs, and scary, and should stay deep within the briny depths.

I don't eat tuna for a lot of reasons. I'm picky, and there's sustainability issues, and it's gross when it's canned, and people put other things I don't eat on it, etc. I have food issues big. |

best fish i've had was darryl caught something while we were canoeing in the massasauga and someone whipped up a simple batter and sliced some lemon and panfried it over a fire. delicious not sure what fish it was but based on googling the area it was probably pike or bass?

Could be walleye/pickerel if you were very lucky. |

I haven't been in ages. Not that I was ever particularly successful when I did go. I can technically fish right here in lake ontario, I saw a guy catch a pike at Toronto Island once. But... ehhh...

Shopping for a desk chair online is draining. I think I'm just going to buy the Markus chair from ikea because I've actually sat on it, it's pretty decent, and if it sucks after a few months it's not like cost a lot of money. |

I could wait, but boring charcoal is fine. Also the entire universe had to buy home office chairs in the past year, so just having something decent in stock locally, for a reasonable price, is good enough for me. |
