Yep, cooked fish tastes different than raw fish, LOL
After 30 years in the Asia-Pacific, I am OK with raw fishâŚStill, being from the Midwest originally, I cannot imagine walleye sashimi or a âWisconsin Rollâ made with avaocado and large mouth bass⌠As I am sure I am about to learn, there is a âprototype for everything,â though!
And now back to your regularly scheduled topic!
or a âWisconsin Rollâ made with avaocado and large mouth bassâŚ
Here on the Chespeake, we have plenty of striped bass, and the local sushi joint makes ârockfishâ (the local name for them) rolls with avocado and roe.
Should also try squirrel roll, now thatâs eatin.â

I suspect itâs an acquired tasteâŚ(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
Gray squirrel is actually rather good as long as you are not the one cleaning and skinning them.

No, unfortunately not.

Huh, I never knew that the temperature of the water affected the taste or texture of the fish. Fascinating!
I donât know about everywhere Ray or every fish species; but I suspect so. Northern Pike are a northern fish and the only the Northern states in the USA have them. We are the warmest in their habitat. They like cold clear water. I lakes especially the ones we are talking about get very warm almost 80 degrees. It most definitely effects the pike. Not sure why but it does. Even the few largemouth bass I have eaten are better in the spring. Now deeper water fish like trout and kokanee salmon are good year around but they stay below the thermocline in our deeper lakes where the water stays cold. Small mouth bass caught below the thermocline are still decent eating also.

Exactly!! Donât know anything at all about Pike but can vouch for the fact that Bass,both large and small mouth, Crappie, Blue Gill, and even Catfish are affected by water temperature when it comes to texture and taste. and as Devon said Kokanee and Trout are affected to a far lesser degree because they seek the colder depths below the thermocline.
Now having said all that there is nothing better than Bass fishing late on a Summer evening using a popper bug on a fly rod and having them big suckers hit hard. Of course you canât eat them because the flesh is soft and picks up a Marshy taste but boy they can still fight like hell.
Dev, I hear one of these will open all yer tubes up.
[edit to add the word ->> HEALTHY!! <<-- to prevent my post from being considered off topic]
lol,
I have eaten both red and grey squirrel, they arenât bad. But that doesnât look so good.
We have lots of âlowlandâ , shallow lakes in our scab rock region of Eastern WA. The game department stocks them with thousands of hatchery rainbow trout and a few brooders.
They are OK for a week or two after the season opens. But when these lakes warm up and get green from algae, the trout become inedible.
(to the game fish eating purists.) Why they donât stock the bass, perch and other warm water species is beyond me.
Hey buddy ⌠How are you doing âŚ
John, probably a cost factor more than anything else.

Yeppers
Popular demand when they built the facilities was/is Trout.
Hard to mix cold and warm in same.

Not to hot. Shunt is failing yet again. Had imaging done two weeks ago and everything is intact and in the right place. Have to go to Seattle here in a few weeks to have a spinal tap done and possibly some other testing to see if the valve itself is working. I am back to ground zero. Ugh. Getting old.
I havenât said much because I really donât know whatâs going . Other than I am miserable.
Argh! Thinking of you Devon. Hope they can figure it out! You had a good couple of weeks there it seems. They can fix this!
Well, dang it. Lets get some divine intervention and get this thing fixed to stay fixed.
Yeah that is what is so frustrating. I had a couple GREAT months. I pretty much rolled through summer feeling really really good. Basically 100%. Then about a month ago I felt it starting to come back. And now I am pretty much back to my worst. The roller coaster ride is hard. I know its treatable. The shunts do work. Just need to get one to last more than a couple months. I donât understand what the issue is.
And here I thought this agony was over for you! I will have you in my thoughts as always buddy. (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cry.gif)
