As I am getting ready to sear up some fresh Ahi a buddy of mine gave me that he caught a couple of days ago............................I was starting to feel a little guilty, being the total fish nuthouse that I am. I was just wondering if any of you fellow fishlorians feel the same way or if any of you stopped eating fish altogether................

Just curious

My grandpa and I recently went fishing for channel and bullhead cats. Cleaning them was a day in the opposite of heaven

I've been raised on eating fish on a regular basis. I have no problem watching fish getting cleaned or cleaning them myself. Idk what it is. Its the same way with hunting. I love animals but the moment I get a gun in my hand those bunnies better run fast!

Now see I could never do that...........................If I had to kill everything I ate...........................I'd be one heck of a vegitarian....I use to have no problem with catching and cleaning fish either, and never feel that way when in a restuarant eating fish. The feeling just came over me as I started to prepare the Ahi. I started looking at the filets thinking about what the fish must have looked like

I've never eaten fish/seafood - now that I own fish, I never will.

I eat fish. I've gone fishing but I always throw the fish back in the water and use small hooks so I don't hurt them. I never feel bad when I eat fish because at least I know the fish was killed to be eaten, not wasted. Its a natural occurrence in nature. Do you think a bear would feel bad for catching and eating fish? I don't think so.

Proud to be 100% vegan here.

I've never been a big fish eater.

Well a bear is just trying to survive.................You and I have other choices that are readily available..................Bears don't make very good fishkeepers either

very proud meatatarian!! of all kinds...love to fish and eat it all as well...any kind of seafood makes me melt!! (I just spray alot of air freshner and light lots of candles so my fish dont get skeered ) ...only thing I have a hard time and to this day I havent tried is veal or lamb chops...

Why did I guess that about you?? So there's no conflict in your mind when fishing and cleaning fish?

Shawnie

nopers! my fish are pets..and I of course dont eat pets...none of my fish even resemble what I catch ...unless ive had one too many and then I run around doing a head count in my tank!!

I have no issues cleaning and filleting a fish to eat. Infact, I am planning in the next couple of years to have a currently dry, large pond resealed and to stock it with catfish. I am working on the reluctance to kill other animals, but so far no pang of regret on fish, but of course, we are all different.

(Dino tells the fish in our fishhouse that I will eat em if they don't watch out for me.. of course I wouldn't....most of them are too small. )

Oh you're ruthless!! I'm hiding my boys from you, they are getting fat and happy!

I don't eat much fish but I did have some really good Ahi last night...

I'm a hypocrite! I couldn't kill anything to eat it but I can go to the store and get my fish and meat out of nice little packages where I don't have to see their eyes staring back at me. I think if I had to eat something with it's eyes watching me I'd end up not eating...

I'm completely ok with eating meat and fish in general though!
