    The definition of a vegetarian is someone who does not eat fish, flesh nor fowl.

    Therefore anyone that eats fish and claims to be vegetarian is just a liar :D

    *EDIT* I don't eat fish but sometimes eat meat, so when people say 'I'm vegetarian but eat fish, I usually just reply 'I'm vegetarian but eat meat'. They still don't get it it though...

    Fish don't suffer from pain as such, so perhaps thats why people justify eating it and saying they are veggie.

    But has anyone actually asked a fish 'did that hurt?'

  • Smoothound. So tasty. Sea fishing from bournemouth. I've only caught one, and if I wouldn't eat it I won't keep it. Also if they are young, I don't keep them.
    I don't go fishing very often, catch something even less often, and hardly ever keep anything.
    My girlfriends a true veggie, so I don't often eat meat. I actually prefer veggie sausages and veggie stuff most of the time. Tastes much nicer. Strange but true... :)

    Daughter goes running off into the shop, filled with pink, fluffy and girly items of clothing
    Father: Look son, I'm down to my last free transaction. I'm sure you can find something in this shop that you'll like. Reaches for a top. How about this one?
    Son: Dad, it's pink.
    Father: It's not pink, it's salmon. That's a tough, tough fish!
    Cut to explanation of BMO's fantastic current account, then for the last scene in the ad, cut back to the dad, holding the top

    So yeah, I like salmon...

    Antarctic Blue Nose has been a highlight. It is truly an ugly looking fish which holds with the theory that the uglier the fish the better it tastes.

    I like all fish and shellfish apart from sea urchin which is just pappy and not at all pleasant.

    My GF is a pescatarian but calls herself a veggie who eats fish because no one knows what a pescatarian is!

    Exact opposite, I'll eat any fish or shell fish except Tuna or Swordfish. Don't like fish with a meaty texture/flavour.

    Favourite is Mussels cooked in white wine with garlic and cream served with sliced wheaten bread with a bit too much butter.


    Also, you can't claim be a vegetarian if you eat anything which ever had a face.

    Does that mean pumpkins are out? ;)

    I love mussels/oysters etc. However, having slated several decent restaurants for giving me dodgy mussels, it turns out I have developed an increasingly tiresome allergy to molluscs.

    This makes me very sad.

  • I like trout, salmon, mackarel, sardines, plaice, raw tuna
    Here's a trout recipe for you...

    Whole trout baked in foil with spring onions and ginger.
    - Wrap the trout in foil with some ginger (about a thumb sized piece grated) on top of the fish, and a couple of sticks of spring onion under the fish.
    Bake at 200C until done - depends on the size of the fish but usually about 20-25mins

    For the sauce -> soy sauce, shaoxing rice wine, rice wine vinegar (use a ratio of 3:2:1 or whatever taste you prefer) , finely chopped chilli (optional, and use a small amount), brown suger (again a small amount, like 0.5 tsp. Heat the sauce in a pan and then pour over the fish when it is done.

    Finely slice matchstick lengths of spring onions (3 or 4 stalks) and place over the cooked trout

    Heat some groundnut oil and sesame oil (ratio 3:1) until smoking, then pour over the spring onion and cooked trout.

    Salmon, mullet, snapper

    All spiced, peppered, pepper sauced and garnished with onions, green and red peppers. Then fried with a Caribbean flair - usually around Easter - served with hard dough bread and a sarsaparilla to wash it down... mmmmmmmm

    Oh and if we are encompassing all seafood types then:

    Razor clams, calamari, crab, mussels, lobster and prawns.

    tuna in a pan with cherry tomatoes, balsamic vingear and soy sauce, garlis, salt and pepper. Put a packet of rocket leaves in 2 mins before the end and put in on some rice.
    Perfection.

    I am trying to like seafood - it's a slow process
