He didn't keep it-they are putting anything over 16 inches back in. Trying to let the big ones get bigger and getting the smaller ones out.

I've always put my fish back. Only on one occasion have I kept them.

I used to fish alot when I lived in MA but not anymore. The best tasting fish I ever caught was in Pittsfield and was some kind of steelhead or something like that. I forget but it was so damned tasty fried in a pan of lemon juice and butter and pepper.

I'm not into fishing myself but the best fish is always the stuff that someone catches and you eat it the same day.

I've never had fish or seafood any other way. Catch the fish in the afternoon and it was still alive five minutes before being cooked. Then again we used nets, though I once just went out with a fishing pole and caught about nineteen trout. We had a commercial license and a license for the nets so we could catch all we wanted.

My favorite fish is flounder, and I like shrimp. Then again most people around here like drum or rock and they like crabs and clams/oysters. They are good, just I really like flounder and shrimp.

At the right time of year, a plate with some flounder on it sounds good. Add a few shrimp.. Some scallops and a little bit of lobster. And it would only cost a few dollars in gas for the boat ride out there.

I remember the first time I ate flounder because it was so amazingly good. It isn't as common anymore, especially up here. Everyone wants reef fish, and coral trout and nanagai are definately delicious but sometimes I'd love to try some stuff I enjoyed years ago.
If I had the opportunity to eat fresh seafood as much as you can I would start to have salt water flowing through my veins.

There is always the bayside to catch some seafood, which might offer some relief from salt water building up.

Good seafood is very hard to find, up here. We're about two hundred miles from the Atlantic, so nothing is fresh by the time it comes up here. That's why I rarely eat it, unless I am at the beach.

The only things I've not eaten, from the sea, are eels and octopi. Everything else was excellent.

I love flounder but the only way I can get it is frozen. If fresh is any better I would die. But Kris,scallops I don't like.

Scallops can be used to replace rubber heels on your shoes
For fresh fish move to an Atlantic seaport

Fresh flounder is far better.

I know a lot of people who do not like scallops. I've always loved them.

We already know you're weird

...and proud to be!

Rubbery scallops means they were cooked too long. The way we cook them the outsides are a little crispy and the inside melts in your mouth. Though I know quite a few people who find scallops too rich, I somewhat one of them. In that case I replace them with clam hearts.. The big sea clams. The hearts are a perfect match for scallops right down to the texture. Just the taste is more bland and which means one can eat more of them.

Scallops are delicious and should never be rubbery. My favourite way to cook them is in tempura batter because you know that with such a light batter that you won't overcook the scallops unless your batter is dark brown to black. Another favourite is to cook them in some white wine, garlic, cream and a few fresh herbs.
We bought some barramundi for dinner and I looked for flounder while we were there but they didn't have it.

So you just floundered around the store looking for fish ?

I wouldn't call it floundering. Clever line though.
It was more like jostled, there must have been a big party in the Asian community cause they were going stupid and being really pushy, so in the end I stood my ground and told the guy serving that I was next even though the man next to me had his hand in the air.

I like flounder too and if it got any better I'd eat my hand off.
