Not that I've noticed.

It's been a long time since Vatican II.

Most places that serve fish, serve it every day. Here in flyover
country, almost all fish arrives frozen anyway.

Understood.. But apparently it is a food custom that is ingrained in
my old part of the world and continues to this day. Fridays were
family go out to eat night. (Sundays are Broasted Chicken day ;-) The
rest of the week I guess you are on your own.

Seems to me that clam chowder is a pretty common "soup of the day"
on Fridays. Of course, the Knights of Columbus and other organizations
hold Lenten fish fries.

A lot of places around here have fish and chips specials on Fridays. The
local Lions Club has fish fries every second Friday from spring through
to November.... they have a small, non winterized building in a local
park. I am not Catholic, not even religious, but we got into the habit
of eating fish on Friday mainly because that is the day we shop and I
can pick it up fresh.

In Uni residence, every Friday night dinner was fish and chips, just to
appease the few papist students.

So whats wrong with that? I dislike all fervent religiosi - they
cause more trouble in the world than anything else. At the rigid
school in England we all had to have fish on Fridays because of the
papists, trouble was it was supposed to be fish pie but the only
identifiable ingredient seemed to be smoked haddock.

Me too, but I didn't know we were talking about fervent religiosi.

(What has become of me. Am I defending religious people?)

I hate to see normal society pandering to any religion, though many of
the so-called normal may be extremely religious themselves.
I grew up in a WASP community and moved to another city about half way
through grade 9 and ended up in a school that where at least 20% of the
students were Jewish. They obviously were not Orthodox or they would not
have been attending a public school. They were easy to spot in the A&W
across the street where a lot of us went for lunch. They were the ones
eating the bacon and cheese burgers. They weren't strictly kosher, but
pork was a no no, as was milk with meat.

I don't hate the Abrahamic religions, as they fight among themselves
without my help.

I do feel comfortable in ridiculing their ancient scriptures, tribal
violence, etc.

I have to go now, as I am making a burnt sacrifice to Yahweh on my
charcoal grill. The big guy gets really ****ed if I burn his dinosaur
steaks. A real tantrum, throwing thunderbolts, floods, earthquakes etc.

An all powerful child that must be worshiped, though he needs his ass
spanked.

Jews and Muslims have a lot in common in spite of all their hatred: no
pork, mutilating little boys' dicks, slaughtering animals the extra
painful way. You'd think they'd get along like a house on fire.

Fish on Friday has long been a tradition followed by many non-Catholics.
Sure, the Papes started it, but many look forward to Fish & Chips or
other seafood specials.

I would be one of those who has adopted the Friday fish routine. It is
rarely fish and chips. It is more often trout or salmon. I guess a lot
of people like deep fried fish more than I do. Years ago I loved deep
fried shrimp and scallops, which we usually got pre-made and frozen, and
most often had it in a restaurant. When we started having better access
to shrimps and scallops and had more options than the frozen breaded
stuff, I realized that was one of the worst ways to prepare them.

I would rather have fish that was flash frozen out at sea than old
fish which has been sitting around.

For the most part, you are right. The boat can be out for days before
hitting port and distribution.

OTOH, at Wegman's I bought some fresh swordfish from Costa Rica and OMG,
it was fantastic. Expensive enough that it could have come on a direct
charter flight, but worth it.

I'm not. I abhor freshwater fish.

Pity. Some of it is pretty good. I think trout needs to be from cold
water. I don't care much for sunfish, bass and the like. I have been
eating a lot more fish over the past few years and discovered that Lake
Erie Perch and Pickerel are pretty tasty.

Not liking freshwater fish is a prejudice based blanket statement. But
you can grow old with it, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

"Prejudice" would imply that I've never eaten freshwater fish. I've
eaten quite a bit of it, as I've lived proximal to the Great Lakes
my entire life. I prefer the clean, briny taste of ocean fish.

Freshwater fish is like Spam. You have to grow up eating it to build up a tolerance to it. I grew up eating mahimahi. It's hard to find these days. Mostly I eat strange river fish from Asia. It's not so bad if you put on a lot of tartar sauce.

Yes I prefer salt water fish and particularly northern sal****er fish,
better flavour than tropical water fish.

I prefer fish that have been swimming upstream during a full moon, but
not on Wednesdays.

So, what I wanna know, is, why hasn't anyone figured out a way to
harvest all the damn 'jumping carp', in The Great Lakes feeder rivers.
Seems like they'd be a perfect source fer 'fish meal' to feed to farmed
salmon, if nothing else. 8|

The way they jump into boats, a barge low enough with a motor that
seems to attract them, move it around and let them leap in.

There are so many MONSTER - sized Asian carp about that they are UNSTOPPABLE, nb.... :

"Asian carp growing into 'monsters' in Illinois waters

WIU students reel in 76-pounder from a Mississippi River bay south of the Quad Cities; silver carp caught near Lake Michigan.

Published on: Jun 30, 2017

Students at Western Illinois University (WIU), who monitor invasive Asian carp in Illinois, caught a 76-pounder recently in Sturgeon Bay near New Boston.

Jim Lamer, site manager for WIUs Alice L. Kibbe Life Science Research Station, says carp that size arent uncommon.

€œYou see this really big and rapid growth and these fish attaining really large sizes in these areas where theyve newly invaded or their densities arent very high, so theres not a lot of competition,€� Lamer said. €œThey can grow very quickly.€�

The research station, based in Warsaw IL, monitors Asian carp at various sites throughout Illinois.

Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources reported the finding of an 8-pound silver carp in the Illinois Waterway, approximately 9 miles from Lake Michigan. The location is upriver from a system of electronic barriers designed to keep Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes..."

I've seen the battle and think the carp will win.

LOL. I do a lot of kayaking in the creeks and rivers that flow into
Lakes Erie and Ontario and there are a lot of carp that wallow around
near the edge of the river. There is one river that runs through the
peninsula into the Niagara River that we paddle in from various launch
sites. There is in one particular sight where at least once a year a
small carp jumps into one of our boats. Apparently there is a trick to
cooking carp to make it palatable.

Weak people like you need others to take down and belittle so they
don't feel so low and lonely at the bottom of their s**t pile. Without

It's just what Popeye does. He doesn't mean to be a walking sphincter,
but after he pops that can of spinach open, and sucks it into his gut
with his pipe, he just cant help it.

His puny little arms start winding up like a windmill, looking to land a
punch on Bluto, who is screwing his gal Olive Oyl.

The Great Lakes are all heavily polluted, idiot.
