If my dog got him there would be nothing left to carry off in handcuffs. He would have left in a body bag.

I used to work with a Jamaican, originally from Kingston. He grew up shoeless and in abject poverty.
He'd suck the eyes out of fish heads (smoked Trout) at our annual Christmas Party just to mess with the kids. LOL

My foray with fish is a can of tuna once or twice a year.

boy howdy , a regular Master Fisherman!

My blonde dingbat sister only eats tuna - no other fish. She says it's too >>>>>> "fishy" <<<<<< for her, unless it comes out of a tuna can. Go figure. Me, I find tuna to be great, but it's far fishier than a slab of fresh fried Grouper, or Walleye.

I chose the heads because I knew there would probably never be another opportunity to do it where I trusted the source. They were not boiled but fried in oil with no breading. Very crispy and she was right there was not much meat on them.

My very best fave fishheads are grouper. Groupers have "cheeks" that have a surprising amount of what amounts to filet on them. Fried right, they are fantastic.

Yep! The wife fishes it right off the store shelf and drags it home. Every now and then I get a hankering for it and will pop a can open and eat it right out of the can with a fork. Sometimes, I'll mix it with Miracle Whip and spread it out on toast.
I'll catch fish out of the lakes and rivers, I'll clean 'em, I'll even fry 'em, but I ain't eatin' 'em. Just never cared for the taste or texture. Give me a steak or a burger or any kind of pork and I'm a happy camper. Chicken, too.

We gots a fishie down here called a Hogfish. Some folks call it hog snapper, but it is a wrasse. It has snow-white meat that is the finest of all fish I've ever had. They have a snout like a piggy. The only way, really, to get them is to spear them. They taste more like lobster than fish.

HAH!! Trivia Time -- See that smaller yellow and blue fishie? Thass a Spanish Hogfish. Also super good to eat, but they do not get very big.

Keg was part wolf, 100 pounds, and extremely intelligent. Because he was part wolf, I tried to steer him away from acts of aggression. It was enough for me that he sat there and watched the guy (who didn't move a muscle) until the cops came.

This was long before cell phones, and I had no phone in the house - so I had to go out to find the cops, who were actually looking for the guy.

"Keg! Watch!". That was all it took. I'm sure the druggie was glad when the law showed up. :-D

That dog maybe saved me from a trio of ne'er-do-wells who were 'looking me over' at a beach pavilion once. I was alone in mine, and they were about four pavilions down when they started meandering in my direction, one in the back and two in the front of them. Keg came out from under the table and sat at my feet, looking in their direction.

Oddly enough...they turned around and headed the other way. Funny, huh? Keg was a Bad A$$.

^^^Those would be right up my wife's alley. She loves lobster. She especially likes crab legs. I always get stuck with getting the meat out of the legs for her 'cause she gets it out in little chunks while I get it out in one long string.

I dice up some onion about the size of my pinky fingernail, some sweet pickle about the same size, and moisten it up with just enough Duke's Mayonnaise (it's got Twang!) to make it easily spreadable. Never...never Miracle Whip. GuhRoss! ;-P

Then I put it on toast with some lettuce and a sprinkle of pepper.

 

[boo]

ahh but the snook is the king of fish in my book...best fighting fish pound for pound and the meat is dilectable...grouper cheeks rock as well, most folks don't know about the cheeks...

You lost me at pickle. I can't stand pickles. I used to get burger takeout at a local restaurant but quit because even after telling them no pickles, they put one in the box. Pickle juice soaked bun? Nope. I'll go elsewhere.

What? No fried pickles? No bread and butter pickles? No big old kosher spears? Daaang.
My wife doesn't eat them either...but she doesn't eat anything good, except steak and 'taters.

Speakin' of lobster. Witchie-poo found a place where we can order ahead to get a big 'un for our 64th anniversary in nine days. They cook it, and we can take it home.

That way we can pig out and not wreck the car with detritus on the way home to shower. I love green lobster guts. (liver)

Bug Trivia: Lobsters are the largest creatures on earth with a copper-based blood stream. They are really kinda underwater spiders.

Ahh... snook. Known to some lawbreakers as "Black Stripe Grouper". Super eatin' fish.

I love pickles. All kinds.

My son in law calls shell fish Sea Spiders. I like shell fish better that I like fish.

Hope you all are having fun today. Spending my morning manning scissors again.
