lol settle down boys!

 

[Aussienative]

Yes, I only eat the insides anyway.


I've heard otherwise, bony - yes, but friends who use to live up north ate Jar and they think its nice.

You eat what you like and you pay what you think is fair. Some might say us eatting alot of mangos (V. exspensive in Japan) is showie and just being done to feed our egos.

lol you cannot compare a $5 fruit that is grown for the sole purpose of human consumption to an endangered ornimental fish worth thousands of dollars that tastes like dirt, or atleast tastes like dirt compared to much cheaper more readily availible fish. eg barramundi

Don't argue for the sake of arguing, you know i'm right

To all the Japanese members... i have a mango tree in my yard

I agree on not eating our pets. And I'm pretty curious on how a pacu will taste since they grow too fast too big over time. Maybe they will be the next food fish in the market.

what an interesting, enriching thread. is this Piranha fury??

Hahahah,true.All edible things have their role as "prey" basically.Unless so poisonous thats nothing can it eat.I saw on National Georaphic tonight a South American fish market on the banks of the mighty Amazon,and hey were splitting a 3 foot RTC in half.As well as having all kinds of keepable cichlids on the same table,ready to be bought and cooked.We see it as harsh because their not native to our waters and we keep them as pets.Pets are food too in some countries where not everything is prossesed food.If i could only find the link to a video i saw where a Japanese chef pulls a Datnoid out of a tank,takes a fillet out of it and places it back in the tank to which the "exoticness" of this kind of shushi came from the customer eating the fillet of the fish he is watching still very alive,still very swimming.
