Yes to fish eatin'!!
Does anyone have a preference of fresh water over salt water fish? I grew up on eating tiny little perch a relative of the walleye. We would catch about 40 of them filet them and then have a big fish fry for breakfast. In my mind perch and walleye(pickeral where I come from) are the best eating fish.
I live on the coast now and rarely have a chance to eat anything other than saltwater fish. Halibut comes close but perch will always be a favorite. ..... of coarse there is always the fresh prawns that we catch this time of year

Yeah viboy, perch and walleye anyday! What about fresh tuna? We went tuna fishing in September and caught a few yellow-fin (only 80lbs +/-) but as the mates were cutting out loins, we were slicing sushi (sashimi?) right off the carcass. MMMMMMM Good!!!
And wasn't it slipknottin talking about eating gourami a while back?

I have always preferred crappie. We would fish all spring till we had a couple hundred filets and then have an all day fish fry with all my aunts and uncles down at my Grandma's pool. Ahhhhhh the memories........
This is an interesting question. I am totally into fish. I keep fish, go fishing and eat fish. I am a big fish and seafood eater. I try to eat fish once or twice a week because it is a heathy diet. I go deep sea fishing to catch seabass, and some big male seabass has small hump and blue shine like cichlid. But I can't eat fish that I raise. When I was a kid, my big oscar jumped out of the tank and died. My mom picked it up and cleaned if for the dinner. But none of us could eat it.
Keeping fish is fundamentally different from keeping cat and dog. Fish aren't pet. You don't touch and carress them and they don't show much affection to the owner. Fish keeping is like maintaining an eco system in your home and the joy of keeping them is to observe their natural behavior in a simulated eco environment. Without that pet and owner affection bonding, aquarists aren't bothered by eating fish.

I love shrimp to death... in the tank or on the plate, steamed, fried, or broiled. Of course I would never eat a ghost shrimp... too tiny! I guess I should be bothered by this, but I've seen my ghost shrimps eat the corpses of their friends. No one can resist the taste of shrimp, even other shrimp!
cdawson, there are about 7 c-lovers all over the lower mainland. i work at the one in north vancouver, on marine drive and pemberton.
there is one at pinetree village, one on clarke road, gah i can't even remember where they all are.

No, I don't eat fish and didn't even before I joined the hobby about a year ago. I have been a vegeterian (ethical) for over ten years now.
My boyfriend is also an aquarist and although he eats fish, he is uncomfortable when there is a tank in the restaurant - even it if it just decorative (i.e. not for picking your dinner)!

well maybe to u this is true but i have a great attachment to my fish and develop a bond with any animal i bring into my home to care for. and my fish do touch my hand at feeding time quite often my loaches will come out and gnaw on my hand.
as far as fish eating goes:
i love most shell fish but don't care for most other types of fish, with a few exceptions such as brook trout cooked on a camp fire or fresh bluegill, maybe 1 or 2 others. for the most part i only eat fish a couple times of yr. but i figure what the hey, everytime my loachces or puffer glare at me for eating a fish stick :mad2:, i just throw 'um another shrimp and remind myself that in the wild they too shop in the fish dept. i must admit though, ever since i read that clown loaches r considered a delicacy in their native waters i have been curious. i doubt i could ever eat 1 of mine though. :Angel:
