Why do people eat their fish?

[JohnnyD]

I eat them in order to consume their soul and take in their powers. Every time I eat a fish I've killed, it's kind of like Highlander.

I eat it because it cost me over $100 per pound when I figure my expenses.

wanted to respond to this but only ah.. -checked back as to not offend- but c'mon stupid, at least a lot of ppl eat it cause they like it,some have to, and some like pissin stupid ppl off

Because they taste good. A fresh fish eaten a few hours after being caught tastes better than any 5 star can serve. Same with fresh tomatoes, cow, zucchini, corn, clams, parsley, chicken, cucumber, pig, or anything you eat. FRESH is good. And you get more Highlander powers the fresher they are.

Ummm... did you refer to me as "stupid" as to "not offend"
Had hoped the smileys would indicate the tongue-in-cheekness of the post and the infered reference to the "Why do people weigh their fish" thread.

Carry on....

A post on a different thread got me to ponder why.Especially if you are allegedly C&R.Could it be for a log,is it measured also?I used to carry a scale but never a tape.To see a number followed by a decimal point makes me curious as to the type of scale unless the fish were weighed at a tackle shop.Do such posts promote a gamefish agenda?

ain't no one injecting these bad girls with growth hormones
antibiotics and many other safety additives is one reason.

But mainly it goes back to our hunter gatherer instincts
that are hardwired into our DNA.

Call me crazy, but I think stripers taste like fermented warthog rectum. Okay, not that bad, but even the smaller ones don't taste that good to me.

Cod, scup, sea bass, tog, blowfish? Every legal sized one I catch ... it dies. I've even eaten skates and sea robins and big choggies and liked them.

Bloos have one redeeming quality. If you catch the right ones and prepare them right ... I'll eat them too.

funny you say that....

because bass seem to have this after taste of where ever they've most recently been

but to my pallet: Bluefish and Salmon taste like the brown part you CUT Off a swordfish steak and toss it.... prolly make a good strip bait... for flounder...

but it's JUST way to oily for me... it's only good food for otters, seals, and sea lions and bears and sea gulls.
