There's a nice Asian market near me with live fish and a selection of fish on ice but I'm a babe in the woods on buying this way. My concern is safety I guess and wonder where the fish comes from? I suppose the live fish is from US fish farms? The fish on ice? Don't want fish from anything even close to toxic environments. great prices and variety -- going there today I think to buy something.

I love Asian markets but I'm too scared to buy fish there. Most of them are unfamiliar to me and god know where the heck they came from. OTOH, eating the stuff probably won't kill you - which is my main criteria for choosing foods.

I doubt much of it is from US farms, too spendy.

You're looking at Thailand, Vietnam, China, maybe South America, etc.

I'm way past 5 seconds these days, I never timed it but my guess it's 4
X 5 seconds. If it lands on my shoe, it's all good. :-)

Some people don't want to install apps, but seafood watch has one if
you're interested. It's available in both iTunes and Google Play.

I think it may be something like a a root kit, but I'm not willing to
open up anymore tiny urls to find out...

Wait, what? You live on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Where *do* you get good seafood from if not local Asian markets?

I think they get a lot of local fare, but bulk stuff is shipped in from
China, etc.

Some poster's tiny URLs are a lot more scarier to open than some
stinkin' Asian market fish! :-)

You can get great seafood at the local supermarkets and fishmarkets. The
Asian markets sell fish for FOB Korean, Samoans, Filipinos, Vietnamese,
and others. Most of them look like fish you'd catch in a river. The
locals wouldn't know what to do with these products. The only fish we'd
be familiar with would be tilapia but we hate tilapia!

It could be the most tasteless trash fish ever to make the big time.

The only problem I have with tilapia is looking at, or eating them.
Otherwise, if folks on the mainland will eat them promiscuously, I will
be grateful. OTOH, I think that tilapia raised in salt-water might be
tasty. I'll let you know if I ever find out. :-)

Be fun to grind you up and make pellets out of you for one of them.

Doesn't your hatred also stem from some ultra polluted canal on Oahu
where they were planted/seeded (whatever the word for it is).

Those fishes took over the habitations of the native fishes. All our
inland waterways are choked with tilapia. Mostly they are stinky, dirty,
fish. My guess is that some folks on the mainland will learn to hate
carp too.

It was a very clean design with no "character lines" on the side. The
1970 had that same clean look that still looks contemporary and which
lives on in the new Dodge Challenger.

I doubt that will happen any time soon! Didn't the ancient Egyptians
farm tilapia too?

The fastback was probably the first hatchback in that you could open up
the trunk and fold down the rear seat. Very practical! Too bad I had the
notchback coupe with a regular rear seat and trunk. Oh well, I still
would enjoy driving that car today.

Man and tilapia go way back. It was probably the main food fish of that region. If one is interested in what Jesus would do, he should eat tilapia. Jesus was one the the greatest cooks ever. How else could anybody feed 5,000 with five loaves of bread and 2 tilapia?

You really know your history!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilapia

Tilapia go by many names. The aquaculture of Nile tilapia goes back to
Ancient Egypt, where it was represented by the hieroglyph K1,
K1 of the Gardiner List.

Tilapia were one of the three main types of fish caught in Biblical
times from the Sea of Galilee. At that time they were called musht, or
commonly now even "St. Peter's fish". The name "St. Peter's fish" comes
from the story in the Gospel of Matthew about the apostle Peter catching
a fish that carried a coin in its mouth, though the passage does not
name the fish.[3] While the name also applies to Zeus faber, a marine
fish not found in the area, a few tilapia species (Sarotherodon
galilaeus galilaeus and others) are found in the Sea of Galilee, where
the author of the Gospel of Matthew recounts the event took place. These
species have been the target of small-scale artisanal fisheries in the
area for thousands of years.[4][5]

The common name tilapia is based on the name of the cichlid genus
Tilapia, which is itself a latinisation of thiape, the Tswana word for
"fish".[6] Scottish zoologist Andrew Smith named the genus in 1840.[7]

It looked like that but $43,000 seems way out of line. I had the 273
engine with the regular carb. I liked the trick rally lights which were
actually turn signals and the chrome snap open gas cap on the rear
flank. My car had a vacuum gauge on the dash which I think every car
should have. Oddly enough, there was plenty of leg room in the back. It
was quite comfortable if you weren't too tall. If I had one, I'd drive
it every day.

My mom had a 70 Barracuda. That had a most uncomfortable, hard plastic,
pebbled, interior that was unpleasant to be in. I'd have to sit in the
back sometimes which bordered on child abuse. One time my dad made a
fast stop and I planted my face on the back of the seat. That stuff was
so hard, I got abrasions on my face. The small steering wheel was set so
low that it would scrape my lap. The rear end was too light and it was
pretty easy to lose traction on turns and then you'd see the rear coming
to meet you. A most unpleasant car!
