A lot of fish isn’t what’s labeled. For example, a lot what the menu says is Chilean Sea bass, is something else.
I’ve consumed zero seafood since the twin catastrophes of the Gulf spill and Fukushima. God only knows where that stuff is really coming from.
If I ever eat fish again, it’s going to be something I catch myself out of a clear, clean mountain stream.
“For example, a lot what the menu says is Chilean Sea bass, is something else.”
Maybe the fish self-identified as a Chilean Sea bass...I’m not sure which restroom that would entitle it to use though.
Scallops are a scam. I used to work as a prep cook in a seafood restaurant as a yoot.
The part of the scallop you eat is the muscle that opens and closes the shell. The body and guts of the animal are not the edible part.
In a scallop this muscle is a very small part of the overall organism. When we got live scallops in shells that were hand-size, the edible portion ended up being the size of a thumb tip almost. It was small.
Thus, when you get scallops in a restaurant that are bite size or fork size, it would require that they came out of a shell the size of a laptop computer, and those sizes were raped out of the ocean many years ago. They simply do not exist.
It is for this reason that I believe those scallops are actually cut out of the wings of various types of rays.
and don't get me started on calamari. Many posit they are pig anuses, And I am halfway to believing that!
