Possibly dumb question: Does salmon taste different when eaten before and after spawning?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

They're basically a pile of mush by the end of their run, about to keel over and die. They don't have any fat and the muscles have been mostly used for energy as well. It gets significantly fishier smelling too, but like, not in a good way.

Some people like it. My dogs used to like to yank our shoulders out of the sockets on walks, trying to go roll around in the ones that flopped on to shore to die. That's not fun to scrub out of an excitable labrador.

Why do they have to go all the way back "home" to mate, though?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Probably because their offspring survive better in the freshwater streams than the ocean that they'll live in later in life.

Seems like something SharkFucker would do.

How many posts does this community see per day? ANYTHING IS A STRONG “BEST OF” POST

This is more of a rimjob Steve, it's a cute username that goes with a fish related post. But meh.. I agree..guess it's better than a blank canvas..

I think I've seen sharkfucker before, so there's lore here

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Ig. I really liked the disconnect from the good info and the name.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I enjoyed this post. Plus this place is starving for any posts.

Honestly, the name is pretty relevant imo. Sharkfucker420 specializes in aquatic animal reproduction.

Granted, salmon isn’t the main concentration, but y’know, a pro basketball player is probably still better than average at baseball...
