It's "eating the wildlife" when the poor do it. When it's the rich, it's "wild caught game".

It is like English anglers where shocked when their Polish counterparts did not put the fish back but took it home to eat. I am for eating the fish, what's the point otherwise.

You are supposed to eat trout and salmon, and perch and pike (and eels before they became scarce) to a lesser extent, it's the carp family that's supposed to be bony (boney?) and not very tasty.

Sea fish are mainly supposed to be edible if they're big enough to be taken (there are legal siae limits including for freshwater fish).

Can't really see the difference here.

Well, there is *one* obvious difference.

Even the photo isn't from where our resident troll implies it is, but then they probably think Mavericks RIO from "Top Gun" was killed by an immigrant and not a failed ejection...

Trump brought it up in the debate, and the moderator fact-checked him that Springfield's City Manager has reported that there have been no credible reports of any pets being harmed or injured.

Those Korean immigrants must be seriously worried.

Don't worry, The Donald is there to help.

I am not really an ornitologist but that one in that pic to my knowledge is a GOOSE NOT a duck ??!

[F-ZeroOne]

Specifically, I think, a Canada goose. Though some commentators on the subject associated with the image could be classed as loons, boobies or tits…

Carps ( some of them ) CAN be OK as some of them has LOT of - TASTLESS - meat ( but quite much of it ).

It's a kind of fish that "it's like a tastless sponge" that you need much condiments/some sauce to give the feeling you are actually eating something, however it can fill you up.

I know because I bought a few times, from the fishmonger, some carps "very nice looking but not so great in taste".

The "OLD lore" was that "sea fish is generally OK but fresh water fish could be contaminated" .. but nowadays I am sure that's true of both

Anyway in general of ANY fish AVOID to eat eggs ( sack ) and/or parts like liver ( discard them all ) also clean well all the blood that can be and cook well.

I would NEVER *EVER* eat a "sushi/sashimi" made with "fresh fished fish" (*) .. absolutely completely UNsafe .. COOK it! COOK IT ! COOK IT !

(*) I think "by law" in many restaurants where they really do sushi they have to "flash freeze it" first to kill all bacteria/etc. ( I think they do it even in Japan ).

The Nordics are generally happy eating raw fish, as long as it is 'gravad' ie. buried. This used to mean exactly that, dig a hole in the ground, put fish in and dig out weeks later and enjoy! Now-a-days a few days in a heavy sugar/salt brine will do.

I think gilesgoat is already quite a connoisseur of stinky fermented fish.

Sorry Trump you got trashed !

I had it , Surstromming ( 3 times ) and Hakarl ( 1 time ).

Now while Sustromming actually does smell like a toilet full of piss that hasn't been flushed in 6 months ( or sort of ) it actually TASTES AMAZING, LOVE IT, quite salty but I like that.. With fresh bread and beer or such it's REALLY GOOD.

Hakarl .. all another story .. looks "okay" .. doesn't smell much at all .. seems "normal" .. until you put it in your mouth and you BITE on it

Then it's like DEATH JUST LANDED IN MY MOUTH !! .. probably "the closest thing of eating a rotting corpse soaked in AMMONIA" .. it's like "a canister of ammonia and death exploded into my mouth filling up the nostrils, the brain and everything else" .. it's really .. SHOCKING ! ..

And that taste .. that taste "of death" will remains with you for .. a couple of weeks .. every now and then your tongue will "hit some parts" and you'll TASTE IT AGAIN ! ..

Surstromming : GREAT INVENTION ..

Hakarl : NEEDS IMPROVEMENT !!

[edit] - you forgot about "Bitafiskur" ? And I'd LOVE to try that "fish soaked in lye" .. but I can't find it anywhere ..

[Harlequin]

I noticed a few slip-ups from Harris, such as referring to The Rump as "the former vice-president" at some point.
