The Anglerfish-- FUGGLY On A Plate! Yes, You Have Probably Eaten One...

Hey you guys, my Anglerfish is featured on Inherently Funny! LOL!

Ummmmmmmmm! That's a fine idea, Cheryl! :)

A Capelin Roe Omelette sounds about wonderful right now! :)

Any roe scrambled with eggs makes a yummy breakfast!

Mullet Roe is a delightful, too, Cheryl! :)

The price has rocketed up for fresh fish-- Mullet was a great buy in the North at $1.00 a lb-- It's now nearly $5.00 a pound... Flounder is at $8.00 a lb...

It's more sense that ever to go fishing for these... You can even make money when you get back to the dock-- People are willing to buy your catch on the spot! :)

It's funny but where you go depends on what fish is considered acceptable and what is considered "trash". When I lived in Virginia Spot and Croaker were great fish and pretty pricy to buy. Mullet was considered an unedible trash fish. Only a few people would eat them. When I moved to Florida is was the exact opposite. People would kill for mullet. However spot and croaker were on the trash fish list. It paid to go to the fish market when they would get them. We would get croaker for abou

Most people here used to wrongly classify a foodstuff by the people who eat it... a bad habit really, because it's one of the many things that tend to separate Humans from each other...

Happily, with the emergence of many, many fine programs on the media about foods, and the people who eat them... We are beginning to learn that we have a lot more in common with each other than previously thought...

Sea Bream here would include fish like black sea bass, croakers, butterfish, spots and ot

Red Mullet is the posh one here and Grey Mullet is the Trashy one - but you find all sorts of strange things in the grey ones these days and they need cleaning really well!!!!!!!! Did you know that Red and Grey Mullet are not related - except in their names? Red Mullet are from the Mullidae fish family and the Grey Mulet are from the Mugilidae familiy.

We get a lot of sea bream here - all different kinds - where does that come on your scale of fish?

They all taste pretty good to me

Mullet used to be one of the most inexpensive fish in the market.... Like almost everything in the sea, they have suffered tremendously from pollution and overfishing.... and the prices has gone up..

Crunchy mullet, fried whole and served with hush puppies on ripped-open brown paper, you just can't get anymore Southern than that.... Throw in a NeHi and, you'll develop an accent in minutes, LOL! :)

Jenn Where you are you should be able to get your hand's on the ultimate trash fish, Mullet. It was only after I moved to Florida that I learned fish have edible gizzards too! It took a little convincing but fried Mullet gizzard is actually pretty good.

Omg....I went snorkeling one time and had a sucker fish attached to me and freaked out....if I were to see this in the ocean I would never step my foot in it again.

I only like trash fish is what I am told. If it tastes like fish...I can't stand it. But I do love catfish, and grouper, and tilapia.

I love shell fish. I don't know what it is about fishy fish..it won't even go down.

Only just found this blog - think I must be feeling hungry again LOL

Ugly old thing that it is - by George do they taste GOOOOOOD. Cheryl - try it with a marsala amnd shrimp sauce. Or with a cream sauce or ., as you say broiled with some crusty bread............I am going to the supermarket fish section RIGHT NOW (it's called Rape here - with the E pronounced.).....................back soon

Monkfish Medallions broiled and wrapped in bacon make it worth the pain of actually looking at one! LOL! :)

I'm going thought that link and as you have noticed, there are some real "Beauties" in there! LOL-- Sturgeon, Pufferfish, you name it!

I'll never run out of "Ugly Food Stories"!

If you think this fish is ugly go to the link and work your way through some of those beauties LOL!

Lol....you two have me laughing again.

Looking at that fish, and reading there is someone for everyone..ha...ha..and cheryls ghetto mess..lol.

I guess this saying is so true. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

I certainly agree with your love for this fish and it's wonderful performance in the kitchen and on plates worldwide...

I also praise this fish as an inspiration to those who haven't found a Lover as of yet...

Believe me you me, THERE'S SOMEBODY OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY, and this fish is absolute proof of that! LOL! :)

Okay Jeff, you finally found something that ranks right up there with the "Ghetto Mess" photo from Juenelle and I.

Oh I love this fish AKA "poor man's lobster" Simple to prepare. Drizzle with butter and lemon sprinkle on a little paprika and under the broiler till it curls. MMMM MMMM!!!!!!
