Best current thread on this forum, full of good solid advice from reasonable guys who know what they're talking about.

There's me and blades too, what more could you want?

Any updates Mr Bish?

 

[RavenBish]

still going strong Mr Vanni. I had lentil dahl today, not bad y'know, this vegetable food. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it up permanently though (if I decide to), just for convenience sake. I got told about these things called 'Veggans' yesterday - vegans who eat eggs, I might be one of those - I can't exactly remember why I'm not allowed fish either, who gives a fuck about fish? Especially as you can get your B12 from fish if you cut out meat and dairy.

Fishing is horrific wash your mouth out.

 

[Stevencc]

Mass fishing maybe.

Sitting on a canal with a rod pulling out the odd perch and putting them back is a pretty serene activity!

I'm sure the fish feels the same way.

 

[Stevencc]

That's very presumptuous of you.

 

[Techno Natch]

I'm not going to bite.

 

[Stevencc]

Hey, I'm an animal lover too. (Not like that).

I was just making a distinction.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I'm not going to bite.

Was that a pun?

 

[TomPNE94]

I'm sure it is a fish.

 

[Techno Natch]

I'm sure it is a fish.

What's your point?

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

What's your point?

Who really cares about how a fish feels?

I know you're probably joking, but most vegetarians and vegans. If you're going to catch and release a fish, you should know the proper technique or else you're needlessly impairing the life of another creature simply for your own entertainment, a lot of them are thrown back into the water simply to die a little later. Fish do have nervous systems, it's quite likely that they perceive pain, seems like a needless thing to do to another sentient being.

I can see how people give less of a shit about fish than other animals, we are mammals and a lot of the animals we treasure have been anthropomorphised in literature and in the media. Fish and the rest of the ocean can be seen as a bit alien, but I don't really see any good reason we should play god if we can prevent it. Is the little pang of enjoyment I receive from catching and releasing this fish worth the risk of potentially ending its life? It's up to the individual, but I suspect in most cases if people really thought about what they were doing (as opposed to thinking it's just a fun game) they would reconsider.

Nitpicking motherfuckers, you know there's a disparity.

Fish don't get half the love. The scaly little freaks.

 

[smat]

Fish is good for you. Can you replace the valuable fatty omega-3 acids prevalent in fish which help strengthen your brain cells? I fear not, and sadly that's why vegans are so stupid.

Our relationship with sea life troubled me a long time before eating meat.

Fish aren't stupid and they feel trauma. We have a complete disregard for sea life and the damage it causes the environment in my opinion.

Oh, they do. I save a particular amount of love for pan fried Sea Bass, poached Turbot or Salt and Pepper Squid. And Smoked Salmon of course.

 

[Techno Natch]

Despite my hate of fishing I still advise my service users to eat two portions of fish a week so its a personal choice.

And seared tuna/ swordfish with a lemongrass and chilli marinade. Gorgeous
