I tried it a couple times. I was not impressed. It reminds me of cat
fish, which I am also not fond of. I don't think is is a picky fish
thing. I like fish. I eat fish for dinner at least twice a week.

This is a good point. It was a fad among the Japanese to hold a hibachi
barbecue/suicide party in their cars a few years ago. They probably
would vouch for the effectively fatal amount of CO in little charcoal
fires. Come to think of it, it's probably a more pleasant way to go than
breathing car exhaust.

I'm not so horrified by price changes due to inflation. After all, the
US CPI in 2010 was 22 times that of 1913 but it's the relative cost
changes that get me. Cod to steak as I mentioned, tho' some prices have
gone in the reverse order; strawberries for instance (even if the
quality has deteriorated).

The ones around Hawaii thrive in brackish stink water. They can be seen
taking an occasional breath of air. As far as I know, they don't have
any lungs so I can't say what the oxygen exchange mechanism is for an
air-gulping fish. All I know is that they can survive in low flow, low
oxygen water. It's the reason for their great success in these waters.

They can also survive in salt water for a period of time and can be seen
at water drainage areas in the sea where the storm drainage systems to
empty into the sea. They can also be seen in the ocean near land too.
They are a very hardy fish.

The Filipinos and Samoans will to eat these fish but the locals and
Hawaiian fishermen will cast a suspicious eye on such activities.

Thanks man! You gave me my first good laugh of the day!

That's hilarious!

I've had people try fish that was stronger flavored and quite often, I
hear; "Ewwwwww, that's too fishy for me!"

Well hell, that's like someone eating a fillet mignon and saying
"Ewwww, that tastes too much like beef for me!"

Why the heck are they eating fish if they don't like the flavor of
fish?

Or wine? hehe

I have GOT TO get some freshly made, quality Gefilte Fish and get past
this dislike I've formed after eating some that wasn't very good.

Send me some, will ya? hehe

Ah, you know Gefilte Fish and French Quenelles de Brochet are much the
same thing. In the 60's it was said that a French restaurant had to have
Quenelles on the menu if it wanted a Michelin star! Mind you, quenelles
with lobster sauce aren't very kosher, good tho they are :-)

I'm missing something here. The argument is about whether "Purina"
knowingly put a contaminant into their pet food? As I recall, there
were a multitude of pet food makers that had purchased a food
supplement from a China purveyor who was using a manufacturing waste
product to bulk up the food supplement in order to widen his profit
margin. I guess you could say that Purina knowingly put the
supplement into their pet food. I doubt you could say that they
deliberately put a poison in their pet food.

The key words here are "multitude of pet food makers". Not just
Purina.

If someone sells you a cake, and that cake has rat poison in it, are
YOU guilty of poisoning anyone who shares it with you, or anyone you
serve it too? You had no idea that the cake was contaminated. Just as
Purina had no idea that any contaminants were in their food.

Boycotting them because of a short cycle problem that someone else
caused is silly in my book.

That contamination was melamine in 2007.

On March 15, 2007, FDA learned that certain pet foods were sickening and
killing cats and dogs. FDA found contaminants in vegetable proteins imported
into the United States from China and used as ingredients in pet food.

I doubt they knew about the melamine but should of been more pro active to find
out what they were putting in the food, it would of saved a great many pet
lives. I remember the controversy, Purina took a huge hit in consumer brand
loyalty.

Ha! Fish dumplings poached in a tasty liquid are surely a worthy
undertaking, but they are, by definition, not *gefilte* fish. There are
names and terms that still retain their original meaning and "gefilte
fisch" is one of them. It is still made the traditional way in Europe,
where it originated. I posted a traditional version a few times.

Fish dumplings of various kinds are a different kind of dish/kettle of
fish. Examples are the French quenelles de poisson and particularly de
brochet/pike, (though merlan/whiting is popular, too), as well as the
various Russian "tel'noye" dishes (the word comes from "telo", "body" or
"flesh", meaning only the boneless, skinless, fillet parts are used).
The recipe I posted in the thread was essentially an example of the
latter. There are many more kinds of such dishes and many different
kinds of fish can be used, sometimes in combination.
