Day 25 - trout, originally uploaded by clarity25.

Eric brought home fresh Trout for dinner.

I've eaten a lot of fish in my life but believe it or not.. I've NEVER eaten trout.

I also never ate a fish with it's head still attached to the body. Usually just filet in a sandwich or sushi. When Eric showed me this trout, I literally jumped back.

"What are you going to do with that?" I asked

"Cook it", Eric said. "It's okay, it's dead."

I moved closer and poked it cautiously with my finger. It was slimey.

I know it seems strange that a sushi lover would respond this way to a raw fish. But it's different when it's wrapped in rice and it isn't STARING at you.

"the tongue has little teeth on it." Eric said.

I touched the tongue and winced. ick. Since it was evening and I still hadn't taken a shot for 365 days, I snapped a picture.

Eric grilled the trout and we ate them for dinner.

It was...crunchy. I had to keep spitting out little bones into my napkin. Although trout tastes good and Eric did a great job seasoning it. I don't think I'll be having it again.

I'll just stick with sushi from now on...
