At some oriental stores though you can buy dried or salted " tiny fish " in bulk -- very inexpensive, and full of lots of vitamins. I'm not sure what they are fed, but they are so tiny they can't have accumulated TOO many toxins in their short lives. If you mash them up they have a great flavor, spread on crackers or added as a flavoring agent. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 >How do you mash up a dried fish? Cook 'em first. Or soak 'em. Or blend them dry then add them to something (like meat loaf or kimchi). I haven't done as much with dried fish as I'd like, but the cookbooks basically say to soak them for awhile then use them as fresh fish. I guess this holds true for, say, dried apples also -- they are supposed to make great apple pie. However, the ones I was specifically thinking of mashing are not dried, they are sold in glass jars and highly salted, like anchovies. Except they are whole, little fish and your idea of eating goldfish really reminded me of them. They are quite delicious, but handling one always reminds me of getting rid of a dead fish from the aquarium. -- Heidi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I never thought about the expense. It could get high but probably no more so than ordering grass fed beef off the internet if there's no source close by. I did have guppies in a fish bowl as a kid and they were mighty prolific. It's something I'll have to think about some more. > >If I was worried about external > >parasites, I could dip them in vinegar before eating.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Please please please make sure the raw fish is frozen solid before you eat it. I just had some worms crawl out of fresh snapper and am very aware of the little criters living inside the meat of fish. Be safe!!!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Sally Fallon recommends that meat be frozen for 2 weeks before you eat it raw, I suppose the same goes for fish. I have been eating raw fish in restaurants lately, dunno if they freeze the fish or not, hope I'm OK! - T > > > > Do you think raw fish would be ok on this diet? > > ==>Yes, it would be great! > > Bee > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I've been asked offlist by a couple of people about raw fish and stomach cancer. I could swear there were a couple of reports in the literature implicating raw fish and stomach cancer but I searched and couldn't find anything recent. (An occasional meal of sushi is probably harmless, but the Japanese eat abundant amounts of raw fish). . Now I'm wondering if it's smoked fish or pickled fish that was the culprit. If anyone finds anything, please post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
