STOP EATING SUSHI

[East Coast Hustle]

Shrimp are awesome, and available in huge numbers.

vegetarianism, however, IS gross.

also, DD is right. I totally forgot about sunfish which is, IMO, the tastiest freshwater fish even if you need 6 of them to make a meal.

So, we're talking sunfish in general? Sunfish, bluegills, crappies, the black basses? All the common Centrarchidae?

I'll agree to that.

[East Coast Hustle]

I don't know. In Maine, "sunfish" refers to one particular species, but it could be a regional term and I hae no idea what the actual name of the species is.

ETA: it appears I may be talking about bluegill.

Yeah, sunfish refers to a whole bunch of closely related north american fish, and also the family of fishes which includes them, the crappies and black basses. Bluegills are in this group as well, Lepomis macrochirus, and closely related to other commonly called sunfish, like the green sunfish,  pumpkinseed, warmouth and redear. You get a problem with common names as you can see, cause they change depending on geography.

Bluegills are very good eatin.  It takes more fish to make a meal, but they are abundant and seldom have bag limits, so you can keep taking them till you have enough. Black bass and crappies are also as good of eating IMO, and larger so there are less fish to clean, but also less abundant.

All of you should just eat more pork.

I'm making baked pork chops right this very moment.

I was speaking mainly of bluegill, which is the species of sunfish that I am most familiar with.

I don't think I've ever eaten "suishi" in the first place.

You've never been to Waitrose then.

I actually think its because Japanese (like Chinese and Korean) is transliterated slightly differently in the UK.  For instance, in Korean, the place of training is called a "dojang" if you ask someone from the UK, but a "tojang" according to American speakers.

The conventional way of romanising Japanese is the same here as in the US. It's always "sushi". For Korean, there are two conventional ways of romanising words, but for Japanese there is only one and it's used everywhere. And of all the more obscure ways that it could be romanised, "suishi" isn't even a possibility.

Also, Japanese doesn't have all those funny vowel sounds (eo and all that) that Korean has and so romanisation is pretty uniform.

And anyway, don't shop at Waitrose.

And for the record, I would eat whale meat given the opportunity.

gb2PETA, all of you.

Notice I didn't say anything about not eating whale due to touchy feely shit. It had everything to do with not fucking the populations up even more.

Kthxbye.

for the record, I have eaten whale meat, and I think you would benefit tremendously from a mouthful of it.

[Suu]

I don't know if I would given the chance considering, however, can you describe it? I'm curious.

[Nast]

I hear it tastes like beef with a sort of fishy/gamey taste.

Indefensibly disgusting. Like rotten beef crossed with lutefisk.

It was so bad that if I were a less rational person, I'd probably be in favor of whaling on the grounds that anything that tastes that bad DESERVES to be extinct.
