Honestly it looks like just unappealing plating/photography. If he cut them into filets (or steaks) and grilled them it may look a bit better.

Every meat except for pork being spoiled before you even buy it is just part of living in the Midwest. If I get another fish I'll just tear into it raw because if I get sick I get to stay home from work.

Edit: I understand that it will do nothing to save me, but this is what it looks like without being sidelit by a monitor. I could eat it without closing my eyes.



Still pissed about not getting to gnaw the meat off the cheeks and then eat the eyeballs.

Just tell the knobs at the butcher store to leave the fucker frozen and if you come in and it isn't frozen get your money back.

Don't you have fridges or freezers in the midwest? You should try one, they're a great way of keeping food fresh for longer! The wonders of modern technology :allears:

Pro-tip: If your fish is "too rotten to be eaten", don't eat it. Jesus, dude.

I have been to the midwest many times in my life. You can't barely throw a rock without it landing in a cow pasture. My grandparents who live in WI grew up on beef and dairy farms and regularly eat the red stuff. If the only meat you can find fresh in the midwest is pork, you are not even trying.



Anyway.... 'dines are good and tasty fishes.

Lobster ate up a goodly portion of the grocery budget, today. Only picked five tins of little fishes to restock the work horde as a result.

Going full New England on supper tonight with ocean roaches, Boston baked beans, and fresh sweet corn sold to me out of horse feed bags in the back of a farm truck driven by a pensioner and man looking old enough to be his father.

That's Chinese sausage. That's what its called. Even in China.

They have different sausages (of course) but that type is ubiquitous. It's pork with visible pieces of fat, soy, nothing remarkable about the spice.

It's ok. Most white people have only ever had it diced up in fried rice.

You see it sold in corner stores and grocery stores in China usually kinda like this

I'm making Moxie jelly right now. Putting twelve ounces of soda in a pan and deciding the high fructose corn syrup already there isn't enough so adding three cups of sugar to hasten the diabeetus seems pretty dadly.

Mango Habanero

Picked up the Mango Habanero. Will eat in a couple of days and report back.

Finally ate the Mango Habanero dines. there were about 12 dines in the can, and about 6 chunks of mango. The mango itself was pretty bland for some reason, but there were hints of it in the dines themselves. It was mildly hot, not nearly enough to make me sweat so it loses points for that. Bones were not noticeable, fishies were meaty, and the overall sweet-hot taste was okay, but nothing great.

I give 'em a B-

What say ye about sea creatures in shells like mussels? I like to cook them in some white wine and pesto.

I recently had a can of Trader Joe's sardines in spring water, which I got just because they were on sale. I wasn't expecting much from them, but they were surprisingly good. Bigger fish than I would have liked, but had excellent taste and texture. I have avoided fish packed in water, but these were unexpectedly decent.

I'm almost ashamed to admit this but I love all you 'deener Dads so here goes... I've never had any sort of oyster. What should I do?

Jul 28, 2003

Do:

1) Napoleon brand smoked oyster in the sardine shaped can

2) Eat a raw oyster if you're near a seashore from a place that offers them, watch a video on youtube for how (basically you just slurp it out of the shell but can add a little of this or that first). A lot of fancy bars will have them, restaurants as appetizers, etc

3) Going through NYC? When you visit Grand Central Station might as well stop by the Valhalla of Oysterdom, the Grand Central Oyster Bar. It's been there for years. The oysters are surprisingly cheap. Stop in and eat five or six of them a la carte.

Do not:

1) loving oyster stew. There's this midwestern abomination that is basically oysters boiled in milk. It's atrocious both in concept and execution.

2) Eat raw oysters if you're not in a coastal town or city -- the exception being if you're in a HIGH END Vegas hotel

A raw oyster tastes:

1) Surprisingly sweet
2) Like the sea to a reasonable amount
3) A little like a clam
4) Different to other oysters depending on the type of oyster it is, possibly on where it's from but I don't know about that

I like raw oysters a lot better than fried. But I can see an argument for fried being a better first experience. It's hard to argue with anything fried and served in a big rear end roll.
