We probably eat more raw tuna and big fish than folks on the mainland. It's important to monitor the Hawaiians so you guys know the long term effects of eating toxic, parasitic, fish flesh. When we become worm laden zombies with a taste for human brains, you'll know that it's probably time to cool it with the fish.

In my college years, I had various roomates. Generally we kept
separate foods except for the common condiments (It's silly to have 4
jars of mayo!). We'd often shop together to take advantage of bulk
sales and other items that didn't make sense to buy individually. For
example, it was fairly common to bake a chicken on the weekends so we'd
get one of 5-6lbs. Fit our poor college student funds better.

Depending on work schedules, we'd normally have 3-4 of us in the
evening and take turns, often splitting tasks up based on skill levels.
Debra for example excelled at fried chicken. Lisa was really good at
turning a cheap cut of beef into something really good. I'd almost
always have a crockpot ready to go with something. Even then I was
prone to low-meat and high vegetable eating so so I was normally asked
to handle the sides.

One year I had 2 guys and a lady for roomates. The guys were a bit
mystified at the grocery store at first but were both good cooks.
Debra (same one above) and I took them to the local grocery after they
blew 3 weeks of food money on 1 week (T-bone and such). LOL, they were
really glad for the crockpot which I kept stocked up once the food ran
low! They learned though, especially when I came home with a week's
food for all 4 of us for 50$ and it wasn't just beans and rice (grin,
though that was in there too).

All ocean sea life contains mercury. It's the large fish that
have the higher concentration of mercury. Tuna and swordfish are
good examples. Look at the ingredients on small canned tuna now.
They mention a warning that it contains lead and cadium. Still no
mention of mercury, but it's there.

I would guess that someone that eats fish often should probably
pick the smallest fish available.

Maybe your fish is better than ours. Ours contains mercury. Some more than
others.

I had to google that and it seems we do! As you say. some more than
others!!

The tiny fish have mercury and many are eaten by the next larger
fish so they get all the accumulated mercury that the tiny ones
have. Then even larger fish eat those fish and on up the food
chain. The largest fish like tuna, swordfish and marlin eat
bigger fish that contain all the accumulated mercury so are pound
for pound very high in it.

Note: you indicated that you think farmed salmon is safe. You
might want to research "farmed fish." While you're at it, take a
look at your home water supply under a microscope.

Wow, you had a lot of roomies over the years. I don't think I could do
that. We've had various grandkids living he but that was temporary and
house guests, but that is only a few days. From now on, it is just me
and will remain that way.

Never saw it either. Found this tough:

Fish pie, also known as fisherman's pie, is a traditional British dish.
The pie is usually made with white, often smoked, fish in a white sauce
or cheddar cheese sauce made using the milk the fish was poached in.
Prawns and hard boiled eggs are other common additional ingredients.

Place of origin: United Kingdom
Main ingredients: White fish, cheddar sauce, prawns, hard-boiled eggs

LOL, Gary! There's a very small restaurant not far from my house called
'The Dog House'. They serve... you guessed it, hot dogs! Also grilled
bratwurst, Italian sausage, etc. They also serve lobster rolls (the
owners are from Massachusetts) and fried onion rings. It's a very small
place with mostly outdoor seating. And yes, they'll let you bring your
dog. They'll even give the dog a free hot dog.

It doesn't sound particularly appetizing.

Yeah, that's a lot of roommates. I shared a rented house with my middle
brother for a few years when I was in my 20's. (I'm talking 1985.)
When he got married I had a female friend who wanted to move to a new
place so she moved into the extra bedroom with private bathroom for a
year. In both cases, we split everything down the middle in terms of
rent, utilities, etc. We shared the common areas of the house. We
bought our own food (even if I was the one doing the shopping, we each
paid for what we consumed). It worked out well. I'm with you, though,
Ed. I sure wouldn't want to have a roommate now.

I'm not impressed. Salmon is just another fish and overpriced and

I smell a set up Julie. First his dog shares your bed. Next up is
he claims it's his "comfort" dog and can't sleep without it so
he'll join you in bed. Few more days, kick the damn dog out and
it's just you and gardener in bed.

Good variety is what you want. Too much of anything is not so

I haven't had it for many years, but I liked smoked and BBQ salmon. They sold the stuff in Vancouver area supermarkets. Yummy. That was back in 1992. I was back there in 2003, and didn't see any in the supermarkets. I don't get it.

Never had lobster rolls but would love to try them. Those with
fried onion rings sound like a very nice lunch.

About time for me to deep fry again. It's been years. One thing
always on the list is onion rings battered and fried.

Lobster rolls don't appeal to me because it's less about the lobster and
more about the dressing. Mayo, onion, celery. Served cold. On a hot
dog bun.

Really, I'd rather just have a hot dog.

There was a recent cooking show, not sure which one. They served a hot lobster roll which was cooked lobster, still warm, served on the traditional bun, and drizzled with drawn butter. That really appeals to me.

I agree except seasonally we can get whole red sockeye from the left
coast. That I like.

Clemson University for me. When I moved out from home, it was to
become the 4th in a 2BR apartment but 2 of them graduated. I found
another place but in summer had to carry the rent alone and it was
tight. I took in 3 roomates in fall (as the students came back) which
lasted until summer then had to move again as the rent had gone up and
I couldnt cover it for summer. Moved into another place where 3 of us
managed rent through summer then off to another place (bringing Debra
with me).

My last year I was able to get a trailer that I could swing alone and I
didn't have roomates. It wasn't much of a place, but it was mine. I
probably top Julie for numbers there but it's all part of working your
way through college.

Maybe you didn't have the right wine with it. Try a white rioja or
oaked chardonnay next time.

That is true of a lot of stuff, but a really good lobster roll has
little dressing. You pay a lot for it, but worth it. Just like crab
cakes, most commercial stuff is more bread than anything else.

I doubt you'll ever see a good lobster roll away from the New England
coastal areas.

We could get them when I was in CT. About $17 with fries. Lots of
lobster though.

Now that's what I was imagining. And again with some deep fried
onion rings and....why not - Let's add a frosty mug of root beer
too.

Yes indeed, the right wine will fix any meal.

I think in the US, it's a very North Eastern thing? I think they do
them along North Eastern Canada as well.

The USA is kinda funny in how it has pockets of cookery based on
availability and immigration cultures. Janet UK is correct that 'many
make it' but the % of the population makes it rare if you look at us as
a whole.

It's a bit like across the nation, we aren't really into seafood, but
in coastal areas, that dramatically changes.

Oh, my stars! I looks for a recipe and it calls for poaching the fish
for 12 minutes and then baking it for 30 minutes at 200 C (in a sauce
under a mashed potato topping).

What did those poor fish to do deserve that kind of treatment?

LOL!

I could wrap my head around 200F but 200C is 392F (call it 400F and be
done with it). At least, that is what google says it is!

I grew up inland so other than canned Tuna, fish wasn't part of my
normal stuff. Oh, now and again 'fish sticks baked in the oven' as a
kid.

Fishsticks in the oven was also something I'd make as a college student
for the roomates. Not haute cuisine, but we liked them with my home
made tartar sauce well enough.

I recall one semester being asked to make up a bunch as we hit exam
week. It was simple easy stuff you could take for lunch or eat cold in
the middle of the night when deep in study with little interruption.

The sticks were bigger then and 3 would fill a 'fish stick sandwich'
made of white bread and mayo (plus whatever else might be handy).
