Suspicious Tuna

[jhlurie]

Holy mackeral, it hardly matters what waters have been crabbed already.  If you choose to die by the sword, fish the waters again.  If we are Dungenesses like us will probably run out of ideas.

So there!

me?  run out of ideas?  my friend, it's time to be schooled.

If you tackle too many puns at once, someone might fish your bass.  On the other hand, if you were yellow, fins of punning might snapper up.

Oh Koi.  Oh Koi.  Then I won't salt the wounds.

[tommy]

buoy, we are really sinking to deep depths of humor here.

[researchgal]

sorry, I have nothing to say, but I just had this urchin to join in the fin...

[jhlurie]

Walleye tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, researchgal... but I guess Eel still talk to you.

Nicely done, Jhlurie.  Nicely done.

[Jinmyo]

The skill of a sturgeon there, jhlurie.

Cod someone please answer Liza's question so she doesn't feel that she's been scrod!?

[vengroff]

At the risk of ruining a perfectly good thread, I'm going to take a crack at the original question.

Could it be that the fish had been frozen, but not quickly enough?  If so, ice crystals could have damaged the cellular structure, causing it to ooze when thawed.

Regardless of cause, I wouldn't buy an oozing tuna steak any more than I would buy an oozing beef steak.  Unless maybe I was planning to boil it...

[B Edulis]

Wall, eye say you should ask Alex of Blue Moon since he's now back at the Greenwich St. Farmer's Market on Saturdays. And get some good tuna from him, too (I like the albacore).

[Jinmyo]

Albacore him up right soon.

[Liza]

At the risk of sounding even mildly knowledgable about anything, I can state for sure that it was definitely not blood.

Thanks again B Edulis for reminding me that Alex is back to answer all our questions. I'm sure when Alex answers, I'll be fin-ished with this question.

[Wilfrid]

Yes, eel sort you out.

[jhlurie]

Fin-ished?  Eel bet this nonsense continues just from force of haddock.  Anemone else up for more?

[tommy]

no way.  count me trout.

[researchgal]

yeah...you're not going to coral me backfin to this!

[Wilfrid]

Me too.  Oyster clear of this kind of nonsense.

[jhlurie]

Are you sure?  I was going to ask them to Perch this topic on top of the forum by pinning it to Minnow-mize the amount of time the Group, er... has to Flounder around to find it.  

Never mind.

[Jason Perlow]

Alright, clam up.

{Internal monologue:

"Jeez, I thought I posted a pretty interesting topic. I mean,  tuna oozing pink liquid spotted in Miami and in New York City. Wow, that's a lot of posts! No way nears the ABalic thread, but heck, who's counting. . . oh....so...it's all about...wordplay...right...that's, um, cool, and still, all in all, lots of people are posting on your topic, so what's the worry, right? Just because you're alarmed at a certain not-from-nature color scheme appropriating your favorite fish...no problem..."}

Just for the halibut: not pink I hope.

[Liza]

But of course, deeeeeep ruby. (Confession: we had cod from the farmer's market tonight ....sigh....so lovely and flaky...)
