Bobj 251 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi all, I was wondering, what is the nicest sea creature that is available to eat (UK or abroard)? I like sea food,but am yet to find something that really gets the tastebuds tingling! Anyways, going fishing hopefully wednesday, weather permitting, so i gonna test out some new gear... Happy New Year YoungRod One thing; misleading consumer names. FISH -- WHAT'S IN A NAME? (Or, when is a Pacific Dory not a Pacific Dory?) "QUESTION: When is a Pacific Dory not a Pacific Dory? ANSWER: When it's not from the Pacific and it's not a Dory, that's when. The fish sometimes sold as Pacific Dory does not come from the Pacific Ocean and it is not a member of the Dory fish family. The fish that has sometimes been sold as Pacific Dory is a member of the freshwater catfish family and is farmed in South East Asia. In fact, there is no such fish as Pacific Dory. That is simply a marketing name and one that should no longer be used. Its correct marketing name is "Basa". When is a "Snapper" a "Squire", when is a "Mahi Mahi" a "Dolphin Fish", when is a "Silver Warehou" a "Snotty-Nose Trevally" and when is a "Rabbit Fish" a "Happy Moments"? Well, usually when local fishers or seafood retailers use old local names that leave many seafood shoppers confused -- and maybe even a little anxious. Surveys consistently show that confusion over fish names -- as well as the risk of occasional downright deliberate mis-labelling of cheaper fish as more expensive varieties -- is a source of real concern for consumers. So, why isn't anybody doing anything about it? Well, someone is. A nationwide Fish Names Committee, established by the industry-government organisation Seafood Services Australia, has been "standardising" marketing names for seafood for five years. And it's close to a conclusion. The story of fish names -- and developing standard marketing names for fish and other seafood -- can be interesting and amusing, informative and entertaining. If you would like to organise an interview with someone involved in the process, please call: Alan Snow (in Brisbane) on 0418 199 516 or Roy Palmer (in Melbourne) on 0419 528 733 Roy Palmer, a former seafood retailer, is Chair of the Fish Names Committee and Alan Snow, a senior staff member of Seafood Services Australia, is Secretary. More information is available from www.fishnames.com.au " There you go, pacific dory, or basa is mekong river catfish, and you can guess what they feed on....... Cheers, Bobj.

Vagabond 1022 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Vagabond, mate......must pull you up here; West Australian CRAYFISH...not that ba*****ised American english term........ Yep, absolutely right Bobj - been in Texas too long I guess Fingermark - we caught and ate some up at Cape York - agree with your view on that too. I didn't mention fish (my list was long enough already) but one that does stand out is Kingklip - anyone who gets to South Africa is recommended to try it.
