… and found out it’s also a bottom feeder, I don’t think I can ever eat it again. 🤮

What have you found out that, years after you started doing or eating something you liked, has put you off forever??

That octopuses are so intelligent. I used to enjoy eating them but just can't do it now.

Yes, it put me off eating them too.

Monkfish aren't bottom feeders, they are ambush predators, which live on the seabed. They're all females, but have tiny males embedded in them, which are simply sperm donors.

My mind is blown. An embedded male? Nature astounds!

I love monkfish and at my supermarket they always have them whole so I know what they look like. I often cook gurnard whole and dh complains that they are looking at him. 😂 Still eats them though.

I looked up gurnards. Their profile truly reminds me of a lot of reality tv celebs and some influencers.

I don’t understand how folks who eat mammals, birds & fish don’t know how they’re killed. It’s dead animal flesh, people!

I eat meat & fish, and I’m fully aware. I have no pets, either.
