I am not so sanguine, Gery...sorry... And maybe I am wrong... won't be the first time... No need to be sorry Tom, all fine! You do have a point about the pollution of the Davao gulf, that's for sure. Asides of the Davao Sewer River there is also a big harbour here which comes to great effect in terms of pollution, let's not forget that! But have you ever tried the waters in southern Samal for example, or around Talikud Island? When snorkling there I see almost no trash or litter, nothing but clean turquoise-blue water and (delicious, probably also healthy) fish of all kinds! You don't need to go miles outside to find that here, but that's just my perception. 2 hours ago, Tommy T. said: I would prefer to eat African Swine Fever contaminated pork or Mad Cow infected beef Please don't LOL! 2 hours ago, Tommy T. said: And the fish were absolutely packed so closely that they could barely move around That would be a no-go for me aswell - these fish had a life full of stress which definitely affects their taste *imho* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Tommy T. Posted March 18, 2020 Forum Support Posted March 18, 2020 Okay... I will refrain from a LOL about Mad Cow beef... for a while... When I was actively sailing, I caught any number of pelagic fish - what wonderful food they were! It actually got to the point once when I remarked to my then-wife, gee.... I hope we catch something other than mahi mahi... I am tired of this! Can you imagine that? But fresh caught wahoo, mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna.... wow! Now the yellowfin costs us p350/ kg? (I honestly forget since I have not bought it in a long while. Maybe it was p550?) L served me some - I guess it was tilapia - a few weeks ago... It smelled and tasted like mud. I had one bite and refused the rest. I reasoned in my mind that if if tasted like mud, it was mud.... no thanks... And, the way I see it, soon there will likely be little to no pelagic fish around for anyone. I guess I am just glad that I had a chance to taste and enjoy. I really feel sorry for future generations and am - in a pessimistic way - okay, that I don't have kids... But I am sorry for those who do...

Think about catching a yellowfin tuna, cleaning and chilling it for a few hours, then gorging on sashimi maybe only three hours after catching? Then bbqing a few hours later off the back of the yacht... Hmmm... I almost miss some of those days now... Yeah... sorry for the attitude... I just can't feel very positive sometimes for future generations... Ask me tomorrow and maybe I will be more optimistic? Edited March 18, 2020 by Tommy T.
