Title: Eating Fresh Local Sole (fish)
Post by: Poncho on January 29, 2013, 09:10:58 am
I got sole from a local fishery here in BC. The fish are from the coast. The fish is completely fresh and hasnt been frozen. Is it good to eat?

Why not? If it's wild, from unpolluted waters and if it tastes good it's good!

Haha neither me or my boyfriend enjoy the taste of raw fish yet. We like sashimi and steak so far, but theres no beef available where I am for the past 2 weeks, Its been pretty fishy.

Sashimi is raw fish! Beef is not so much a winter food, neither are eggs, unless you are relying on industrial agriculture. Winter fish from cold seas is outstanding.

Yeah that sounded a bit stupid. I know what sashimi is haha. Before the sashimi part, I meant to say that I like how the pros prepare sashimi. We just cant make it taste so good. At home its always a bit too fishy. Do you know how to make it taste like sashimi that you buy?

Well, generally it's very fresh, and they usually avoid the fishier-smelling species.  I imagine they also throw out their smellier batches (some batches of fish just smell fishier).

You'll get used to the fishiness.  Think about fish-eating cultures around the world.  The fish smell is just part of their lives, they don't notice it.
