To all aquarists, do you actually eat fish?

Well, we all have fish or shrimp as pets (if you don't have a fully planted tank). Do you eat shrimp or fish? I mean the ones you buy at the supermarket. I'm a vegetarian out of love for animals.

Various fish are not related to other mammals. The question is as if one would expect a cat owner to eat no beef just because he loves his cat.

I eat most commercially available fish, some more often, others less. Overall I don't eat fish very often, maybe once a week. I also have no problems with fishing for food, slaughtering and taking out fish (in animals with fur I would be a bad butcher). On overfished species or species with a special catching problem, however, I deliberately shorten and throw sport fishing only for the tail comparison and then back in again I do not find it right.

Shrimps and their relationship is not entirely mine. Crab agitation very much, or in a good noodle sauce. In the appropriate ambience also a crab bun. Otherwise not. Larger shrimps that still have to be pulled out of the tank are too cumbersome to me. Lobster sitting on the plate as if he was still alive, I don't eat, especially since I don't find the live transport to the end user and lively throw into the boiling water. Clearly, small shrimps are also thrown alive into boiling water, but due to their small size, they are practically immediately pure so hot that they are dead in a second.

I just don't like both.

Can't you eat fish as a vegetarian?

Fish is not meat. Fish is a single category

Or if you call it trout fish, salmon fish, and and… is just as stupid.

What a disguise! Why shouldn't fish meat be meat, even if it has a different consistency? Now tell me what it is and whether there is a name for it. I don't think they call it fish. Otherwise it would have to be called fish instead of fish meat, usually fish fish, and that would be stupid. ^^

I love fish!

Both in the aquarium and on the plate.

When I was a kid, I often went fishing with father and brother, so I don't have any problems with the fish I'm starting to process and eat.

In the aquarium we only have ornamental fish. They do not even baptize for a decent borillas – so of course they are not eaten with us;)

All just a question of the crowd. In Southeast Asia such small fish are eaten in large numbers. Cooked, put or dried. Also species we keep in the aquarium, such as various gouramis.

This may be because they are likely to occur in a free nature and (favorably to free) to be catchable in large quantities. This would be a very expensive menu 🙂

There are certainly many who eat their own when they no longer need them. I can imagine.

But I like only salmon, tuna and sushi and shrimp and 1-2 other species, but otherwise as good as no other fish.

Yeah, we both eat. The aquarium in our living room has nothing to do with our eating habits.
