You eat them with the skin on and everything? To me, that would be like eating a chicken without taking the feathers off first...

Whole sale fish in with my other wholesale orders.
These guys were FL farmed...came in at 2.5"...but were really closer to 1 or 1.5".
That was on April 6th, 2010.
By September 15th, 2010 they were the size you see above.

place fish in tin foil and pour the above in, wrap up and place on grill, flip as needed
when ready to eat, when you unfold the tinfoil, the skin peels off and the meat strips right off the bones
We gutted so that you can stuff the cavity with spices! Other than that, I agree, and that is how this once was prepared.

Dude thats awesome.
Not quite, these guys were raised with one purpose in mind, consumption. But thanks all the same.
Let me remind you guys that these fish were fed aquaculture pellets and organic veggies.
They were never medicated, or given any other chemicals.
It would probably not be safe, or tasty to eat your fish at home.

Skin is one of the best parts!
Usually when you grill fish, at least in my experience, they only thing you do is gut them, and make some slashes for spices in the meat.
To each their own I guess.

I would be open to try this, I have hmong friends, so it isnt foreign to me, but...Ill admit the first time I saw tinfoil barbs at our asian market I was slightly shocked!

This is because you havent tried my grilled fish!
Where is the nuc mam recipe we have been promised!?!
pacus get HUGE super fast... i had two a looong time ago that i got at maybe 2-3 inches. i didn't pay attention to them much and one day i looked inside the tank (they were with koi and other mish mash of stuff) and these guys were close to a foot! and it was literally in half a year's time i kid you not.
i was shocked to say the least. bring them on as food fish i say - i bet they taste like pomfret http://www.w-goodway.com/site/gallery_pomfret.php - solid white fleshed fish.
i might as well throw this out there, but many of the aquarium fish we keep are or could be food fish in their native country. peacock bass, shovelnose cats, red tail cats, piranhas, african cichlids from the lakes etc. are all considered food fish. given the population of 'feral' fish we have in some states like florida, which are overrun by oscars, pacus, etc etc i don't see why people wouldn't or couldn't just fish em out like they do trout or bass and eat them. i think it's all in the mentality. having said that if i ever catch a red devil somewhere i'm not 100% i would chomp that guy down... hahaha
nice thread btw.

Indeed, people even eat discus in south america.
JK Many people in FL do fish for these fish, especially oscars. They are fairly popular.
