Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
It would seem like we should be trying to invent sustainable and non-toxic methods of farming fish.
Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
Burning the candle at both ends, it's what humans are good at nowadays...... It's the fuck the next guy "attitude" all the way... Example: We do a food bar once a week in my retail cafe' where folks can pay one price and can have all you can put on your plate or to go box... Last week it was pasta bar and one dish is a nice baked spaghetti marinara that's topped w/ fresh mozzarella & Parmesan.... I swear every other person scraps the cheese off most of the pan of pasta leaving no cheese for the next guy.... Coincidence? Maybe it's just a entitlement mentality, "I got this coming to me so I'm taking mine" oh and fuck the next guy too....

Shrimp are fish?

Could just be the eco reporter who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
Anyone listen to the TED? Curious what alternative fish he suggests we eat...didn't mention it in the article.
I've been eating a lot of seafood lately so I am curious.

Apparently not.stenchasaurous wrote:He's talking about seafood consumption and sustainability, not having an in-depth conversation about phylogeny with professional marine biologists. Quibbling over him casually referring to both actinopterygians and malacostracans as "fish" is focusing on the irrelevant. I'm sure he knows a shrimp is biologically different than a cod given that he's over the age of 5, and he probably expects his readers and listeners to know that as well and not get caught up in it.

Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
I'm talking about the writer of the report on the ECO website you linked. As elementary as it may be, this eco-warrior doesn't seem to understand that shrimp is not a fish. If he does, he's a crappy writer and should take up another hobby. Do you think he gets paid to write for the site?stenchasaurous wrote:Apparently not what?

Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
I didn't read the book so I wouldn't assume what the book was about. I read most of the article and some of the video. Maybe it's just me but I would have used a different title. Anyway, my question was about the reporter on the Eco website. The overall quality of the report was lacking, IMO.stenchasaurous wrote:You do realize the book the article is discussing is titled "Four Fish", right? Did you read the article or watch the video or just get caught up on the shrimp thing and go no further?
Probably, and this is just a wild guess, but probably it was titled that because it's catchier sounding with the alliteration, so I'm guessing, again just a wild, crazy, out there guess, that when the publishers approved that title, they were OK with including shrimp as well, rather than naming it "3 Fish and a Crustacean" or something like that.
Given that the book was well reviewed by the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, and is now a bestseller, I'm also going go out on one last crazy limb here and guess that yes, the author of the book was paid for writing it, and that despite casually referring to shrimp as "fish" in the title of his book, has miraculously not been condemned to self-publishing for free.

If somebody wanted to make a thread discussing online journalism quality, they're more than welcome, although I'd say the food forum isn't the appropriate location.
Any thoughts on the actual subject?
I don't like fish.

Shrimp is for pansies. Real men eat caviar.

Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
I could buy that.stenchasaurous wrote:Hmm. So, speaking philosophically, would any matter that a fish could eat be "potential fish"? This, taking this even further, since all matter is made of elements, and elements can become other elements either by fission or fusion, then all matter is in fact, fish.WhyteHypeBG wrote:Semantics.

I thought this thread was about cunnilingus.

Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
Glad I was bored and rummaging around the site today, this thread is a fucking gem.
Re: 4 Fish We’re Overeating and What to Eat Instead
A shrimp is a crustacean and like most they have it's skeletal system on the outside of their bodies..... A lot of the fish and shrimp in this thread we eat today are farm raised which could be harmful to the environment too..... Growing up in San Francisco my family ate fish (mostly salmon, halibut & filet of sole), crab, lobster and shrimp several time a week.... Now all those I mentioned are so expensive you only eat the stuff on special occasions.......
