Re: Whats the weirdest fish you ever ate?

i'm curious how thats cooked my dads buddy told him the oyster toad was the chicken of the sea:rolleyes: it stunk up the place and ruined the pan, we assumed another of his pranks:facepalm:

We call those toadfish down here too.. but in reality that's a monkfish.. which is actually very good eating and a delicacy in Japan.

I guess I'll go grab the dog out of the backyard and eat that too! Lol jk :)
But it does seem wrong to eat a fish out of your aquarium!
Why do you think the art of fishkeeping got started long ago? You knew you could have a fish for supper. :)

I thought puffers were the fish that must be very carefully cleaned or you can die from eating a poison thats inside them?..........Mullet have got to be the most fishy tasting fish in the sea. I like them occasionally, split and grilled the old fashioned way. I think they were traditionally grilled outside because frying them in the kitchen would probably stink up the house for weeks!

Atlantic coast puffers are safe; been eating them since I was a kid. Skin 'em, fy 'em, and one bone pulls right out leaving nothing but sweet white meat.

Mullets are fishy, but salt water gars are NASTY :-( Lizardfish aren't much better. Horse shoe crabs are OK, but very little meat in that great big crab :-(

Yeah,But there are several species,I believe theres only one thats poisenous,Fubu I think they call it.
Here people eat them all the time.
Most people here have a little kitchen outside the house or just a stove especialy for frying fish!

its a mild taste , not bad if your in a pinch , but you have to grill it whole and pull the skin off they have a lot of small bones
