Love grilled or poached salmon.  Never liked Northern pike, tasted too weedy and are full of tiny bones that don't filet out.  But its a blast to fish for pike on ice with tip ups.  Favorite non-trout family fish for eating is walleye.  Yellow perch maybe tastes slightly better but are kind of small.

Yeah, fresh walleye is terrific, probably my favorite white fish.  I've had grilled swordfish and shark that was "OK" but both need some kind of sauce I think.  Branzina is really good, I've never had it fresh.  I think it's also called "loup de Mer" in France?

Grouper, triple tail or triggerfish (the best) for me.

Triggers dine on crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, etc. Of course they taste great!

Several of these guys are like real-life video game outliers....Bo, obviously.  Vick was too fast.  Alstott just bulldozing dudes, Bavaro dragging guys down the field, etc.



Alstott wasn’t really a fullback though.

Copenhagen was great, we thought, not too expensive.  Vancouver is very nice also, $$$$.  Toronto?  Huh.  Calgary?  Not for me, at all.  The Swiss cities would be $$$ also, same with Osaka.  Australia has too many things trying to kill you.

I've flown on a few of these, they are really all the same IMHO.  I do hear folks say Singapore is really nice.

The main item for me making it "nicer" is leg room.  We flew Turkish back from Istanbul, I could not discern any difference between them and Delta.  They didn't serve pork, but that's rarely served by anyone.

I just got an email from Delta saying we were upgraded for first on our trip to Vancouver next week, I'll take it.

Ahh yeah. I have the same legroom concerns. Flying at 6'5" is not always pleasant.

When I was flying Cathay a bunch I had frequent flyer status on American (codeshare w/ Cathay), and was always able to get the exit row with tons of legroom. That's huge on a 12+ hour flight.

I agree, and I'm 5-9. We always choose premium economy as we don't have to pay for it. Once in a blue moon we'll get bumped into first class, which is even better. We have exec platinum on AA.

Triple tail is delicious.  

favorite fish is walleye.   Not even close.  

have you tried Cobia?   Amazing.  My new favorite salt, water fish.   Wrapped in tinfoil after a white brush of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste in 5 to 7 minutes on the grill.

Pike is actually very good eating but the challenges, the “Y” bone.  When I’ve gone into northern Canada fly in fishing the guides up there or expert at removing the way bone and the pike is delicious if it’s done correctly.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
