It's not hard to tell the difference between scallops and ray.  I've never been served ray at the place I'm talking about.  Others, well....

The fishing industry has been in trouble for 15 years.

I began to notice when we began to process what in my youth was called---Bait fish.

Fresh water fish is not recommended for anyone to eat but every 2 weeks.

I'd like to see some citations regarding that remark. There are SOME fresh water fish that one should eat too often, but that all depends on where they are caught. One example is fish caught from the Mississippi River, unless they are caught up in the headwaters of the Mississippi. The lake nearest me is another example. Why?? Because of the pollution in those waters. There are many lakes around that have little or no pollution and the fish are safe to eat on a daily basis. I've also heard that certain Ocean fish shouldn't be consumed very often, either and for the same reasons.

Wednesday, I have an appointment with my Neurologist in Dallas. I plan on stopping by Central Market on the way home and get some fresh Tuna and/ or maybe some shark steaks.

If you lived where I do, you'd be glowing in the dark, if you ate fish out of some of the local waters.... :uhsure:
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Yep. You can eat fish out of Norris and from the Clinch above Oak Ridge....but you don't want to eat it if came from down stream.
