wngan9447 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'm not talking about the fish we catch, i'm talking about fish in general. My friend was busting my chops the other day saying i'm the only fisherman in the world that don't eat fish. Being new to fishing, I've spent a substantial amount of money trying to get a decent tackle box together and getting decent gear. Went from 0 rods to 5 rods in 4 months.... had the bug. It definitely doesn't make sense to people that don't fish getting that much gear and not bring fish home. I'd have to say i'm the minority, but i'm curious. Thank god my girlfriend doesn't eat fish either, i'd never hear the end of it. haha Quote
aquaholic Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I love fish, not so much salmon though. Maybe i just havent had it cooked properly. Jim gaffigan had a good bit about people not liking fish. " I like fish, just not when it tastes fishy.... I got news for you, you probably dont like fish" 1 Quote
nascar2428 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I eat fish once every two weeks on average. None that I catch, strictly catch and release. And I hear a lot of flack from other fisherman about not keeping and eating them. Not that big a deal to me. Quote
gripnrip Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I eat crappie and catfish on occasion. I always catch and release the bass I catch. I do however don't have a problem with someone that does keep the bass as long as they are legal. I have to say though, we had a 2 day tournament earlier this year with my club. The place where we stayed, the owner had a bucket of bass that he just recently caught. And rite on top was a 5 plus! That was hard to see but he has a rite to filet and eat those fish. I just choose not to. Quote
TC235 <*))))>< Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Im in the same boat...Cant stand the taste of fish unless it's fried and at that point you shouldn't even call it fish lol. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 27, 2013 Global Moderator Posted July 27, 2013 Nope... The ONLY fish I'll eat is fresh Walleye, thats it... Now, shell fish..Lobster, Clams and Oyster's I can eat all day.] Mike Quote
Loop_Dad Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I grew up eating fish daily basis almost, so not eating fish makes me feel guilty as the same way as not eating my vegetable. However, because of my limited cooking skill (how you cook makes huge differences) and the limited fish selection at the local market, I don't eat daily now. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted July 27, 2013 Super User Posted July 27, 2013 I only eat fish once or twice a year when I'm on fishing trip. If we get walleye or two, or a pike, we'll fillet that up but never a bass. I don't like any fish that has been frozen or not REALLY fresh. If it wasn't alive an hour before it hit the frying pan, I won't eat it. 1 Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted July 27, 2013 Super User Posted July 27, 2013 Smoked salmon is amazing. I love sea food and fish in general. I am not a picky eater by any means. 1 Quote
wakeeater Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 i don't care for fish. i'll eat it, but would much rather have something else....hell, like pb&j. i love shell fish, though. lobster, crab, mussels, & oysters are my style of "fish". 1 Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'm the same way... I will only eat fried catfish. Everything else is just nasty. 1 Quote
GeorgiaBassBros Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 i like all types of fish served any way, i have been known to catch a mess of bream or catfish and fry em up Quote
greyleg33 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 For the most part I just don't care for fish. Crappie are pretty tasty but I'm too lazy to clean 'em. Quote
5fishlimit Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I won't eat freshwater fish, but I'll destroy sushi any chance I get. I don't know why either. I've been fed Lake Erie perch and walleye and thought it was pretty good, but it's just not something that I would go out and get on my own for myself. Quote
Bassfink86 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 i dont eat fish, but i love to catch them all day long...not eating fish doesn't make you less of a fisherman 1 Quote
Preytorien Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I have had an allergy to fish/seafood all of my life. Admittedly that was when I was much younger. My mom has the same allergy and gradually as she aged it got so much worse that now doctors are afraid it would kill her. Since I've shown many of the same signs when I was younger, I am all too cautious to try it again. However, that doesn't stop me from catching them! 1 Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 27, 2013 Super User Posted July 27, 2013 Ill eat salt water fish from time to time, rarely though but NEVER a largemouth bass Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 i used to eat fish when i was a kid, then one day i just didnt like it anymore. i wont eat it now either. i will however keep fish for family every now and then, but thats only striper and catfish 1 Quote
cdaggett Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I get so much crap for not liking fish... I think I have been scarred from my elementary school! 1 Quote
aquaholic Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I cant believe so many of you dont like fish. Its a shocker. Quote
bassmaster99 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I eat all fish that don't taste nasty, except bass or trout. Quote
mikeg Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I love fish! Like aquaholic, I don't like salmon either. Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my house who does like fish which is a limiting factor in how often I can eat it. Quote
JeziHogg Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Nope... The ONLY fish I'll eat is fresh Walleye, thats it... Now, shell fish..Lobster, Clams and Oyster's I can eat all day.] Mike x2! Quote
