We have friends that live in Slovakia on the river between Slovakia and Hungary (Danube). Right on the river in a floating house. When talk got around to fishing and eating fish I ask if they ate a lot of fish and what kind. There were mostly catfish and carp caught. I ask them if they ate the carp. "Oh yes, very delicious". A lot of Asians also eat carp. Yet around here they are considered a trash fish, mostly left on the bank by anglers.
Wife pressure cooked carp once, and the results were very similar to canned white Tuna. Carp Salad sandwiches were hard to tell apart from Tuna Fish Salad sandwiches.
Not going anywhere particular with this post, other than to say that it is interesting to see the different cultures that eat foods that others wouldn't touch.
Personally, I'll go for the Hogfish (Bocaneti in Mexico) when it comes to ocean fish.
