Mart: “nutty flavor” – good one!

I am glad that 1) I have no nuts for this fish to munch on, and 2) they’re vegetarians pala.

As for fish mislabeling: I read the article… and… 0_o oh my!

This somehow gives the expression “He does not have enough to feed a fish” an entirely new meaning.

Hahahaha! Laughing but must admit it was scary for a moment there (even if I would technically be “safe” from a ball muncher)!

Mmm, fish with a slight nutty flavor.

Since we’re on the topic of fish, not too long ago, some reports surfaced about the frequency of mislabeling of fish. Most “processed” fish (e.g. filleted) were being sold as one species but were really a cheaper knock-off. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyway.

The most “toxic” mislabeling cases were “white tuna” was actually “escolar” which has some indigestible oils in its flesh. If I’m not mistaken, more popularly known as “gindara” in the Philippines.

I remember about six years ago, a friend of mind name Rommel had bought one this fish and stuck it in his octagon aquarium. Since the pet store owner where he bought mentioned the same thing that it is related to piranha, Rommel fed it with beef heart, a few slices a day before you know about 3 years later that thing was about 24″ in diameter. Poor fish could only move side to side. He indeed up donating it to California Academy of Science Steinhart Aquarium in Golden Gate Park/SFCA.

As you know, the Amazon floods its banks, swells and contracts over forested terrain in the course of a year and when the water level is at flood, there would be lots of fruits and low hanging nuts (pardon the expression) within munching reach of the fish.
