Dark chocolate does not taste sweet to me.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Hi Everyone

I find that eating the skin of a cooked fish after descaling is generally safe and can be both nutritious and flavourful.  Fish skin provides healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids and proteins that support heart health and brain function.  It also contains collagen, which may promote healthier skin and joints.

I always make sure the fish I buy is fresh and of good quality before cooking it thoroughly.  I am aware of mercury, PCBs, bacteria, and parasites in connection with fish but I am not overly concerned about it.  If I had seafood allergies or sensitivities I would be more cautious as fish skin might trigger a reaction.

I eat the skin of 'John West' Salmon and, in fact, I go hunting for it before making fish cakes.  I also love and adore smoked salmon, especially for its rich flavour and versatility.  It pairs beautifully with salads, sandwiches, or on its own as a snack.

I am not fussed about how the fish is cooked, so I will eat it regardless.  While I enjoy the crispy texture of fish skin some people might not prefer its flavour or feel.  When prepared properly I think fish skin can be a healthy and tasty addition to a meal.

Something I have not mentioned, I eat raw fish like, fresh sushi or sashimi.

Happy eating!

Best Wishes Always

Girl after my own heart. I much prefer fish with the skin on. A nice piece of baked cod, the whole fish. Head and all... super yummy!! There's a restaurant in the UK called "Fallow" whose signature dish is a whole Cod's head. For like £40 ($81AU). I want to try it but also don't lol.

I will admit I got put off Salmon at an early age though. School lunches. The bones weird me out.

You might get a kick out of this, Sarah... literally... ;)



I also love sushi. It's extremely yummy!

I am not inclined to eat mud bugs or crawdads but I heard some people really like them.

Oysters are actually really nice. You just have to not think about it, lol.

I like oysters and clams if they are fresh.

When I lived in Florida, we would camp on a bayou near Destin (before it was destroyed by a hurricane). We were out in a seven-foot rowboat and my brother was using his favorite lure. He snagged it on some rocks and wasn't about to lose it. He put on his fins and mask and went over the side to retrieve it. He found an oyster bed and he brought up chunks of oysters and dropped them in the boat. We filled that boat with oysters, then went back to shore and had a feast. We were shucking them and eating them raw, while my mom was cooking some on the half-shell and others rolled in corn meal.

We learned that oysters swell in the presence of alcohol. So we pigged out washing them down with beer and before long they were coming back up.

Many years later, in California while shark fishing on the pier, my stepdaughters found some clams on the beach. They grabbed one of the coolers and filled it. Later, while cleaning them I identified them as Pismo Clams (we were at Avila Beach) and they have a limit on how many can be taken each day and you need a saltwater fishing license. Oops.

TLDR; everything in moderation. You don't need a cooler full or a boatload of a good thing to enjoy it.  ;D

Very wise sentiment. And I would argue that having a lot of something cheapens it.

The Pismo area is pretty.  Especially just north of there.  Lotta rocks.

Avila Beach was my favorite spot. It is just north of Pismo but without the tourist crowds. It has the best seafood restaurant right on the beach with large windows so you can watch the sunset. It has charter boats if you want to do some deep-sea fishing. It even has a nude beach area called "Pirates Cove". It is hidden away with no easy access to it. But from the top of the cliff above, you can watch people playing volleyball far down below.

I thought I saw a nude person on a beach around there, but I was way up high compared to the beach and slightly north.
