  1. still under goal and manageable, fish, do like stuffed trout, I also like it
    cut into thin strips and stirfried, that is of course if my father or one of
    my brother's gives it to me. Never eat it anywhere else, never tastes good
    if they aren't the ones providing it. good luck with the fish and getting
    back down "under", Lee

    Oh, yes, the standard pickled herring, raw shrimp and this time, catfish - we shall see how I like

    Frankly, at least, the way I prepared it - the lobster can be a pass. A bit too nondescript -
    very soft and tender. Maybe the lime juice and tequila overwhelmed it. I will do it simpler the

    I do pretty well with water. But I do do a lot of salt in any event. Nah, I know I'm getting to
    be a broken record, but it is too much stuff after the meals. Yesterday it was spice drops!

    How's your water intake? The herring is pretty salty and I retain water from herring like mad.

  6. Catfish - fixed and okay as a quickie breakfast (see another thread)

    Round yes, good, so-so. I need to PUT DOWN THE MANGO. Fat cheese is not the only no-no.

    Joyce said:

    Hey, I like round numbers! Up isn't always bad, and you still are well below your goal. In the
    grand scheme of things, looks like you are hanging in there rather well. Congrats Fred. Now put
    that mango down. <G>

    Wish I could help you with the catfish, but that is one seafood that I just don't care for. Hope
    you get some good suggestions on how to fix it properly.

    I may just try steaming the next batch and see what they taste like and the consistency. But,
    really, will not do it again unless they are superb.

    Oh, yes, the standard pickled herring, raw shrimp and this time, catfish - we shall see how I
    like that stuff.

    Sorry about the little gain, but you're still below your goal weight, so that's a good thing!
    You'll take off that 1.2 next week.

  19. I freeze most everything, just wasn't too sure how long the fish would keep in the freezer. These
    packages are soooooooooo huge - would be eating it for a long, long time. The salmon wasn't bad, ate
    half and froze the other half. But the tilapia looked like it had about 40 filets in it. Now that's
    a lot of fish. LOL

    I may just try steaming the next batch and see what they taste like and the consistency. But,
    really, will not do it again unless they are superb.
