Question of the Day - Thursday, August 14th, 2025

Me neither. And people are always like “YOU LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND HATE SEAFOOD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!” And I’m always just like yes. Yes I do.

I'm originally from Florida and people are shocked that I hate seafood too. Both my parents like seafood too which is even more perplexing

 

[FrostRanger]

About all I’ll eat is tuna salad and even that is meh now. I like chicken salad better LOL I also used to like fish sticks but I got them again once a couple years ago after not having them for forever and… way too fishy tasting. LOL

Same, although I'll also eat squid and octopus 'cause they do not taste like fish at all. If you never had them they are actually quite bland. Even then, I won't eat them often

Depends on where I'm fishing and what I'm fishing for. But usually worms (preferably nightcrawlers), powerbait, and a variety of different lures.

According to the Bible, carp are in the "clean to eat" category. They have fins and scales. Lev. 11.

Worms or cut-bait

Yeah my parents like/liked seafood too. And one of my brothers. The other one likes some fish but mostly is like me LOL but my younger brother and my dad LOVE seafood LOL and my uncle (dad’s brother) does too.

I don’t think I could do the texture LOL

I haven't gone fishing in over 50 years. I've never, ever caught a fish.

 

[notabitail]

I don't fish.

Depends on what I am fishing for of course. If fishing for bass and you like the sport of it then you use artificial lures because part of it is tricking the fish into striking the lure. Anyone can catch fish with live bait. Could be true with some other types of fish as well as far as artificial lures go.

There is nothing wrong with catch and release and if done properly the vast majority of fish will live and strive. As far as stress goes by being caught and released, well, they still will bite again and again and again. I was with someone this last weekend who caught the same bass twice within a few minutes.

Bass are predators.

Tilapia is a carp and a very good tasting fish.

Most carp have way to many bones is one of of the reasons they are not considered good to eat. The texture of the meat is not great either. Tilapia do not have all the bones that most carp do and a mild taste and texture. Most other carp are considered trash fish.

Fresh water Stripe Bass as well as Hybrid Stripe are not considered great either, but I have found if you remove the red meat from them then they are not too bad. I love fish and could do well with fish being my only meat and never complain, though.
