Since the summer of love (1967), spawning has drastically declined.


You have done your research.........

As many of you know, I got pretty deep into the world of Cheese Collecting.

Sadly the cheese market has moved into a place where I can no longer afford to participate, combined with many new cheese collectors, who can't tell a Brie from a Camembert, but feel it's acceptable to throw money around on bad Cheddar like crackers are going out of fashion, and hurl abuse at anyone that dare offer advice tailored to help them being stuck with mouldy rind.

To this end, I'm considering Fish.

I've heard good things, and google has lots of pictures of interesting fish, which I'm sure many people would like should I share them on Instafishagram, or post in "Which Fish Are You Posing with Today".

So, tell me about this Fish.

I would ask more specific questions, but it's more fun to be outraged when people with more (or any) knowledge provide answers that don't fit the criteria that I didn't bother to share. ::facepalm1::

You need to be careful about buying fish from Peru, it is a common occurrence that people get sent the wrong fish or it does t arrive at all. Here is an original Peruvian fish, who served in the Peruvian Air Force.

You have Cephalopods And Crustaceans that technically aren't fish @cristos71

That's like clocks and pocket watches 馃う馃う

My bad!

Mods, can you please move my post to the Cephalopods And Crustaceans Sub-Forum?

So you're saying I shouldn't have bought a case from out the back of a Reliant Three Wheeler?

The guys seemed so trustworthy too...
Wouldn't trust Delboy but Dave's alright.

My apologies to the OP. When I first saw this thread, and especially its cheese counterpart, I thought "Oh, a passive-aggressive hyper-sarcastic post attempting to humorously veil/mask some fairly deep bitterness and anger, with just a hint of sour grapes." But I was pleasantly surprised to see everyone had a great time posting fish puns and clever references afterward. Being new, I just didn't understand. Maybe I'll be ready to join in for the next one. May I suggest monkeys? Monkeys are funny as Hell. Belafonte was a genius.

As usual the high quality German fish is not getting the love it鈥檚 deserves. All I will say is Matjes.
I have stocked up and are happy to offer a few mint NOS samples from the 60鈥檚 when quality still mattered.

Be careful about Italian fish guys. Most of it is good and fresh, but there are some rotten souls that sell "fresh" fish stinkier than my armpits after a marathon...

That鈥檚 all well and good but Matjes (Herring) is best served with Labskaus....you are never going to get any of these softies to eat that. It looks like puke before you even start.

Tuna has long been a favorite of mine, and now that I am living in Portugal, this is my favorite brand. Delicious, and safer than (Pacific-sourced) brands found in the U.S.

I think these were the first fish in space - on the ISS in 2012. Looks like patina had already set in. How long before we get a commemorative breed?
