Real fish and unreal fish

My breakfast today if fried rice with spicy fish from the jar. It was a gift to my for the holiday season. The milkfish was preserved and the bones were soft that it is meant to be eaten. Nice one, I'd say.

I like dried fish best but now days it comes half dried, so I stopped buying half dried sardines. I still have my other fish I like that's the same, like a Japanese one MirinBoshi...another sardine fish all cleaned and prepared to just warm up and eat everything but the tail. I buy them packaged and it's like the original ones I ate when I was a child, soooo good. I buy prepared saba an oily fish, at Marukai and their prepared cooked rice and eat them when I like fish too. I especially like the miso grilled saba, a half fish with miso marinade. It's cheaper so like you I buy my fish to eat. Nice pics.

I eat a lot of sardines, the ones in the cans, and try to keep salmon either in the freezer or the smoked variety. Yes, the salmon is expensive but since I don't have to take any meds I splurge on it now and then.

I love that fish above, the real one. But I seldom eat here because of the freshness

What kind of fish is in the top photo? The painting is actually very pretty. We eat a lot of fish, usually from our pond and mostly bream, perch, bass, and sometimes catfish. It's so good when it's fresh like that.

I cannot find good fresh fish here. I eat out and order salmon and catfish often.

My son buys bags of frozen tilapia. That's pretty much the only fish I eat these days. But years ago when my late husband used to go fishing in Key West, Florida, I could enjoy red snapper, yellow tail, grouper, etc. Those were the good old days.

We will have salmon steaks, I like those and where I get them we have never been bothered by any bones. Our son's mother-in-law has us in on Christmas Eve for a traditional Polish meal, which features a few different kinds of fish. I love that meal, she does an amazing job preparing the fish, of course she grew up on the sea so she ate a lot of it while living there.

Yes, we eat a lot of fish, my husband likes. I go to Italy to buy every Friday, there is an ambulant fish market and they have excellent fresh fish.

@judyev I too worry about bones. I’m scared of shell fish but I love a nice plate of calamari with a well-chilled Chablis. I’m also partial to a darne of salmon, but so many places get it not quite right and I do like it with a decent though not over-powering red, something some inadequate sommeliers sniff at. A rather good take on fish is tandoori muchly (Sea Bass). Sea food does tend to be pricey. Oh and anchovies, let’s not forget them.

How can fish be expensive there when you live right by the ocean? In fact, your whole country is surrounded by ocean! haha We have fish of all types in abundance here in Florida, and most of it is reasonably priced. There are some varieties of fish that can get a little pricey, but that's just because of supply and demand.

Yes, I love fish but stay away from the species with tiny bones. Flounder, tilapia and grouper are favorites of mine. Fish on the Barbie sounds delicious

Fish is the one thing in Maryland that is always fresh and always cheap. We eat a lot of it. but i have to ask what is unreal fish?

Your post actually reminded me of a dream I had forgotten until now, I dreamt that I was at like a reunion and there was fish, no one warned me that the fish still had the spines and I remember the feeling of having to chew the bones and being afraid of not pulverizing them enough. I was scared of choking, idk why in the dream I didin't bother to pick the bones out.

I would say I eat fish once or twice a week. I like it.

I love fish meals

I will have to post our new piece of artwork sometime. We love fish and seafood, and usually eat the fresh catch of the day in restaurants. I’m not a very good fish cook, unless it’s cod or Alaskan salmon. We always get ours filleted. Haven’t seen a bone in years. Glad you enjoyed your New Year’s Eve dinner.

I usually have fish every Friday.

No, I don´t eat a lot of fish and seldom cook it at home. Fish is very expensive here. I mostly order fish when I eat in a restaurant.

I'm a vegetarian but I'm.glad you like it. Do you like to cook it yourself?
