Wild Caught food

Kairk I agree I'm not a huge farmed salmon girl, I have canned salmon which I am sure is farmed but that's about the extent I will go to. My parents raised rabbits for butchering when I was little. I don't remember what it tastes like but I know my mom told me it was chicken (I loved the baby bunnies so she didn't want to upset me) when I was little and fed it to me. So I am assuming it's close in taste to chicken? I may have to try it again, I have some hunter friends who go for rabbits so maybe it's time to be brave and try it. I'm not like a huge animal activist or anything (though I believe animals deserve to live happily outside and be killed humanely when it's time for butchering) but I do have a hard time thinking about cute animals being eaten. That probably makes me sound like a hypocrite (I don't mean to be) but bunnies are so stinking precious that I would probably feel a little bad haha.
I grew up in Long Island, NY and my family was very into sal****er fishing. I would have to say my favorite catch was what was then known as LI Swordfish (aka Mako shark). Other favorites we fished for were tuna, stripped bass, bluefish (not a favorite but plentiful), flounder, fluke, and blowfish. As kids we netted blue claw crabs, dug clams, harvested mussles and scallops and combed the beaches for oysters. The ocean and bays were a smorgasbord!

Yummy! That's the life I want, all delicious protein coming from the sea. All these things sound delicious I am jealous you got to grow up in that.
I live and grew up on Long Island and was going to say the same thing... I remember my Dad ocean fishing for bluefish... and we used to go out and get clams and crabs...

Does hunting for good sales on meat count? heh
We go to krogers for most of our seafood.. when we want stone crab or something they don't carry, we order online
I like wild boar, bison and elk.. we have no hunters in our family, so I hit up buffalo wild gal when we want game meats

Hunting for deals counts haha. I've never had wild boar is it similar to domestic pork?
My husband is an avid fisherman and goes on long trips to Mexico every summer. Our freezer is packed with ahi tuna and yellowtail. I could eat it every day, but for some reason he likes to share it with people
