Have you ever tried octopus. I tried it raw a few weeks ago, it was pretty good

Dont forget that you ate kangaroo too! (I know they dont live in the ocean though. )

 

[Jodi]

Hey, what can I say.

BTW - Ostrich tastes better than Kangaroo

 

[nikegurl]

i'll jump on the salmon bashing bandwagon. i love fish and i hate salmon. growing up on the east coast will spoil you. i miss my summer vacations in maine.

Octopus is great. Especially sashimi grade octopus (tako) with the purple scales/pods. Also in Japanese specialty stores you can usually get tiny baby octopus (many whole octopuses the size of your pinky) dipped and preserved in a kind of sweet chilli soya sauce, really delicious finger food. Kinda high in cholestrol, but we know dietary cholestrol has little to do with overall cholestrol levels, because we're just smart like that.

Peace.

 

[Jodi]

That was how I had it, sashimi! Most people aren't daring to try new things like us

 

[Premo55]

Hell I eat everything. I've eaten alligator, crocodile, kangaroo, emu, ostrich, I accidentally ate rabbit once (I had no idea what the dish was and was informed later, which sucks, because I have a pet rabbit, it wasn't terrible though), venison...as long as it's protein and it's relatively lean I'm down to eat whatever. Has anyone tried abalone or geoduck? BOth shellfish that are primarily eaten in Asian cultures, and both are very, very, good, but expensive.

Peace.

 

[Jodi]

Don't like alligator, rabbit or venison . I haven't tried crocodile. Emu freaking kicks ass Too hard to find around here though.

Shellfish is probably my favorite second to shark.

 

[Premo55]

^^ Word to that. Shark doesn't even have the texture of fish, it's a lot meatier, for some reason.

Anyway, the problem with shellfish is some of them contain carbs. It's really strange, I mean, where the heck do the carbs come from? Like 4 ounces of mussels contains 7g of carbs.

Peace.

 

[Jodi]

Mmmmm I love Mako. Swordfish OMG I'm going to miss swordfish. I better get some before I move

 

[Marble]

yeah ive been taking it for a few months and still get that, its actually not that bad compared to chewing up some ephedra or multi vitamins (dont ask) haha

 

[blinkboy99]

how much epa/dha would u recomend for a 19yr endo bulking?
2-3g?

 

[Jodi]

Yes, 2-3G EPA/DHA is good.

 

[blinkboy99]

is there any need to ever stop takling fish?

 

[Jodi]

huh? Stop talking to fish or eating fish

 

[hikerchick]

I hated salmon when I grew up on the east coast too (nh and maine) but pacific northwest salmon is a whole new world. It is sooo good smoked, broiled, grilled, baked. yummers!!

 

[Randy]

Ok, guess we will all meet at hikerchicks house for salmon dinner

[Randy]

I'm not picky Hiker. Variety is a good thing though, how about both?

 

[hikerchick]

you got it although I also like salmon lox on a bagel if I still ate bagels, which I don't

 

[Randy]

Well how about I sample a little salmon lox bagel myself, and I will share the experience with you

can i take that all a once...like 10 pills with my bedtime meal?

 

[Jodi]

Well, I think it would be better to split through the day.

10 pills would depend on the level of EPA/DHA per cap.

 

[Randy]

I think Jodi has fins...she really knows her fish pills

 

[Randy]

I am getting some mild fish burps Jodi....It's funny though, each burp tastes like a different kind of fish. Maybe I can name an entire school by the end of the day

 

[plouffe]

I take 4-5 fish oil capsules with every meal and don't have a problem

Would you believe she faught me on this back in the day too? I remember her first fish oil post. I almost cried.

BTW, Randy, weren't you condemning fish oil a few pages back?

 

[blinkboy99]

each pill is 300...but u think split up is better?

 

[Randy]

300 sounds low.

I believe the way Jodi calculates your requirement is she adds both EPA/DHA to form a total. Then this total is generally recorded in Milligrams. Then take that milligram number and convert it to grams by moving the decimal to the left 3 places. Then take that number and divide it by 4. That will be how many pills you need to take. You want to take up to 4 grams a day I believe.

But splitting is definately better. This way it distributes the Omega3 throughout your body consistantly through the day in metered quantities. Many of these things work like vitamin C. Your body only takes what it needs and drops the rest. I'm not sure if that happens with fish oil, but even distribution makes more sense than dropping 10 pills in one sitting.

 

[blinkboy99]

well each pill epa/dha is 300mg so i take 10 pills to get 3 grams...

 

[blinkboy99]

quick q...is there any benifit to taking high potency pills vs regular pills?...

like 6 grams of fish oil that = 3 grams of eph/dha...
or 10 grams of fish oil that =3 grams of eph/dha....


id rather take the 10 bc its cheaper
