That's what I thought until I had 'Guatemalan snapper' that was caught by some member guy who was a big boat fisherman in Champerico. OMG this fish sat on the table like a thanksgiving turkey and was some of the best fish I'd had in my life. The comparison was even more stark next to the lean, bony river fish that usually frequented my afternoon caldos.

my buddy had some guatemalan snapper and just showed up back in slc one night like eight months before he was supposed to be home.

Are you work shopping that one for later use?

Not once did I ever have any seafood in Guatemala that I'd want to have again. And I was even on the coast for a few months.

There was nothing about Guatemalan ceviche that was remotely appetizing. Guaranteed BU.

My first week in Guatemala, I watched a kid catch a fish from a garbage river. Literally a black river complete with islands of trash, deltas foaming with drain water suds from sinks and toilets of the shacks in a shanty town built on the side of a hill. He caught the fish, beat it dead with a stick, and headed home to cook it for dinner. Right then and there I swore I would never eat any fish or “sea”food for the next two years. And I didn’t.

I'm shocked there was something living in one of those rivers. Those were amazing bodies of water. During the rainy season they run clean and beautiful (except for the raw sewage that pours in from every house). When dry season comes they begin to fill with trash. Two months in you can't see water anymore and it looks like a US landfill, just mountains of trash. Then the rainy season starts and it all washes away . . .

And we think banning plastic straws in the US is going to help the Pacific Ocean's plastic problem.

I was served brown beans and opossum at a dinner appointment one night. Because I was a servant of The Lord and knew I was there to become one with the Oklahoma natives - I asked for Tabasco Sauce and got her done. It was hard.

Believe me, I ate plenty of weird stuff. I just never ate fish.

Yeah - I'm not sure where brown beans and opossum falls along the continuum of black beans and any variety of pickled pigs feet (my first fast Sunday in country), intestine, stomach, scrambled pig brains, chicken feet, cow tongue, or liver. But I'm thinking it couldn't have been worse than most of those things. No need for Tabasco sauce (not that they had any) just toss a chiletepin in your mouth with whatever you're eating and you won't taste it anyway.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling very fortunate to spend my mission trip in Argentina. Weirdest thing I remember being served was cow stomach, and that was just once.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I ate a lot of seafood in Japan. But overall the Japanese are more careful with food cleanliness than americans.

Me too. Blood sausage once. Those were funky, but the grossest thing to me (at the time) was some chicken that still had feather shafts sticking out of the skin. I gulped it down and tried not to think of it.

I thought I teed that one up ok.

Sometimes it's just more important to be an asshole and make the news than follow easy safety rules and allow your son to be happy playing football...

Not that he's not an absolute jackass, but I thought that he offered to sit in his car in the parking lot to watch the game. That seems pretty safe. I'm interested in hearing Grapevine's take on this story.
