so i ate my first fire eel yesterday...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
1. You guys eat vegetables right? Well i´ll like to info for you, they spray cow crap on it as fertilizer. So what? A good immune system is important :D

2. I felt no movement, that thing was small.

3. I would not try to puke because something like that. Its just not worth it. It would be dead so or so. No fish survives such a ph-shock, lack of oxygen and so on

4. i ate a still living octopus in a japanese restaurant, that was more fun ha ha because it was cheaper.

1. I actually eat mostly organic vegetables from our local pick your own farm. ... the crap that cows are fed is crazy... and yes it does get into their milk, and flesh. and Bacteria and parasites are the least of your worries.

2. Thats what she said?... i mean really... you swallowed a fish with spines down its back? even a 3" fire eel( which i have never seen) would not be an easy swallow unless you work in the adult film industry.
I've raised near 6 spiney eels to 18"+ now from 4-6"... so i'm speaking from experiance, can't say i've ever tried to swallow one though.

3. I call BS... tank water NEVER tastes good... it's nasty. and anyone whos actually gotten a mouth full from a syphon will attest to that.

4. eating an animal prepared for the dinner table is completely different then downing a mouthfull of nasty tank water and unexpected fish.

And for someone who has slammed americans for our treatment of fish... your callouse disreguard for killing somsone elses pet stupifies me.
 
That's really my point, everyone who gets the surprise of tank water in thier mouth when they're not expecting it immediately gags and spits it out. Seriously who's reflex is to swallow? Fish in it or not, who swallows tank water?

I once swallowed a ghost shrimp the same way lol. Didnt post about it cause this is exactly what Id expect. Wait, I did just post it lol.
Also I did gag when the water hit my throat but some water, plus the shrimp, got down before I gagged.

thats exactly what i said. Thanks for making that clear. Some people have problems to understand texts...I said nowhere that i swallowed a ****load of water. I spit out almost all of it. But that stupid fish and a little bit of water went down. So what? Now after few days have passed i can laugh about it. it was small and nutritious i guess and worth a laugh :D. And about the "spikes on its back" they do nothing since that thing was very small and its hilarious to believe that could do any harm. And for bacteria, i guess you guys never gulped down any insect per accident? yeah right ha ha. In japan you can order a soup with live fish. you should try it, its fun.
