I really miss good seafood that you don't need to re-mortgage the house to buy.

When you live in far inland states, decent seafood is absolutely outrageously expensive.
We wanted some fresh Salmon... but for Christ sake - $27/lb. for the real thing?
So I bought some Atlantic farm raised, which I knew was not going to be as good as wild caught. Still $16/lb.
Disappointing. Farm raised Salmon has less taste and a grainier texture I can pan fry the best fish you will ever get. Perfectly cooked.
But it is still dry. Because of the texture and meat differences - it is next to impossible to get the interior of farm Salmon non raw without overcooking the outside unless you fry in very low fire. Which you don't want because you can't get a sear. Wild Salmon cooked exactly the same way delivers a far superior product. Not even close to drying out.
Same with Rainbow trout or Arctic Char.

Alright I am done complaining.

It is around nine bucks a pound at Aldi's.

How dare to complain!

Make due with less and be happy.....That's what the dems want from you.

The Dems do not inhibit my consumer habits.

I can barely bring myself to eat any of that farm raised frozen seafood. I live right on the Gulf coast and always get the good stuff. I had fresh jumbo shrimp last night and it was delicious. The difference in taste is night and day.

So let me see if I can get your whining here.

You are upset because wild caught salmon is expensive, mostly because we'd reduced the population of wild salmon through overfishing.

Your side has destroyed their habitat through logging, overfishing, pollution and climate change, and now you are hear whining like a little bitch because it's too expensive and the alternative doesn't taste right to you.

I like the sea bass.

There is a reason for that.

Rare tuna steak is the best fish I ever ate.

Like everything else in the world, modern corporatism has ruined seafood.
Tilapia has taken over supermarkets everywhere. Why? Because it is literally the only fish that can survive the filthy, polluted waters in Asia/South Asia. They are pumped to the max with anti-biotics also.
I hate corporatism. Hate.

Enjoy your worms.

IMO - Arctic Char is the best fish on the planet.
Sweeter and less fishy than Salmon, and I love Salmon.
Rainbow Trout is also outstanding.
Catfish can be, but unfortunately so many rivers in the U.S. are so polluted that eating river catfish is not a good idea.

No worms In the tuna. I get sushi grade yellow-fin Tuna around here for a fairly reasonable price. Cook it on a hot grill 3 minutes on either side and it's like the steaks they have in heaven. If you haven't tried it you are missing out on one of the finest things in life.

I don't eat rare anything. Burnt on both sides and in the middle is fine by me.

 

[strollingbones]

who is old enough to remember open air fish markets? they hardly exist anymore. monkfish was a trash fish now its up there with lobster...

 

[strollingbones]

overfishing has a lot to do with it...flounder is now rare...

My parents were like that. I had to get out on my own before I found out how meat is supposed to be cooked.

I find that highly unlikely... you may be done complaining about seafood, but...

Dude! Do you piss in people's Cheerios too?

Not around here. Maybe we just keep it all. Flounder is harvested with a gig pole at night by people who wade along the shore with a lantern.
