New Fed Guidance: Seafood Safety Following the Gulf Oil Spill

[Lester Sasquatch]

The newspaper said that the UN is wanting folks to start eating insects because they have hardly any carbon footprints. Heck they probably don't have much of any kind of footprints, specially them that has wings. They tell me those fancy hotels in New York are now serving bedbugs as a complimentary amenity.  I was wondering, has any of you folks ever eat bugs and, if you has, what is your favorite.

Here's a trick we used to use to get rid of the mud taste. Take the fish home alive and put in in a big tub of clean water. Change the water a couple times a day for a few days before you kill it and cook it.

Works for carp, too.

  I found over the years when any catfish gets to big, to me none of them are good.  Also if the catfish main diet is shad, there is nothing you can do to them.  They taste like shad.  As they say, you are what you eat.

  Carp, the only way I like them and I have tried every way.  Is to flay them and put them on a thin cedar shingle and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Take out, throw away the fish and eat the cedar shingle.

I have never tried carp, what is the problem with the taste? I saw a show where they cooked something on a cedar shingle once so you had me going there for a little bit Troll. Kinda like the coot and the brick story, I like yours too.

  I don't know, it must be an acquired taste for them.  Just like the taste of raw fish, Sushi, mullet, King Mackerel the blood red tuna and several other types of fish.  The Chinese like and raise carp, the bigger the better and they poach them alive.  AAAUK.  You can have all of the poach fish you want, but not me.

HAH! This is why I love you, furball. Your unflinching insistence on cutting through the bullshit and living in the real world.

Being a creature of the forest and attuned to nature, I cannot stand a poacher either!

I love you too babe! You are my only human friend that knows how sensitive I am to references about large feet and/or big footprints.

  Read the newspaper, I read where one of the largest egg producers was caught hundreds of time with Salmonella in the test samples.   I say if they can't produce a safe food product, they should be put out of business.  Not given hundreds of chances.  SHUT THEM DOWN!
