Title: Does spaghetti go with fried fish?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on October 22, 2013, 09:48:35 PM

Gentlemen, please.

Last weekend I went to a party at my parents house. The menu: spaghetti, cole slaw, and fried fish. It was amazing but I realized that I've had this combo at least 40 times in my life time. Not just at family events, but often at graduation parties of my black friends. I'm just curious whether anyone is familiar with this.

I hope this isn't another syrup/biscuits situation.

You can have fish in pasta. So why not have the fish fried and have the pasta be tomato-based?

and if your Aunt had balls she'd be your Uncle

No, not spaghetti mixed with fried fish. I'm talking about fried fish as the main dish, and spaghetti as the side dish.

Nope my mom doesn't like catfish. We had tilapia, halibut, and another type I can't remember.

Also where is Positive Touch? I need that damn eyetai to sort this all out.

the positive touch method of eating: load up too much of every item onto a single plate while people are arguing if we should hold off on eating til everyone arrives, then take it to a separate room and enjoy quickly before anyone notices


as for the spaghetti thing; sure why not. spaghetti goes great as a side. sounds like a typical midwestern family meal.

When you're cooking for a lot of people, you sometimes throw conventions out the door. Not everyone likes fish, so spaghetti is probably a good secondary main course.


Some rice pilaf would have been the better choice. But, that would be a pain to cook for 20-30 ppl.

I don't know if it goes with fish, but I've heard if you leave it for a long time something magical happens

Is tilapia the most useless fish ever? I swear it has no natural flavor at all.

It also lacks Omega fatty acids. It's basically the perfect cheap factory fish and has pretty much none of the dietary benefits of eating fish.

When I worked at a grocery store meat department, they loved tilapia.  It was very resilient and would take a long time to go bad (and didn't look too bad if it was on the edge of going bad vs. gray looking scallops or mushy looking salmon).  However, most people didn't know so the store charged a lot of money for it because people assumed it lasted as long as salmon or scallops did.

everyone knows farm-raised chinese cod is the best fish.

I've always been partial to wild-caught king salmon but that's just what I was raised on.

Overfishing is one of the main reasons that I argue for cutting the birth rate.

Just think of all the fish you'll feed when you jump into the ocean.

You can throw a can of tuna into marinara, and it's not bad. You can put tomato sauce over breaded, fried fish, and it's good. But somehow having fried fish with pasta sounds creepy.

Overfishing is one of the main reasons that I argue for checking population growth.

America has never been more populated by people, yet we (finally) have a healthy balance of fish.

It just takes better management.

Yeah, overfishing is pretty scary. And Japan's probably contributing a lot to it. I think it's one of the main reasons those Sakhalin and near-China islands are so contested, as it extends fishing area.

(I mean, sure, there are all manner of political arguments to be made, but...)

I watched a documentary (or a segment of a show, don't remember) on overfishing once. English fishermen grappling with EU regulation. On the one hand they conceded that they have to go further and stay out for longer to catch as much as they did decades ago, on the other, they were fiercely against caps. It was strange.

There's other weird crap happening, too; cuttlefish/squid are becoming massively present. Jellyfish, too. We're going to have to learn to love them as a source of cheap protein, soon.

I mean, "The Bore's other source of cheap protein."

It's almost as if they're sucking the resources out of the sea, and into the boats, with massive not-give-a-fuckness about the waste. Trawled scallops: it's like going up to an apple tree orchard if you want to eat an apple, and literally invoking an angry daemon god to blast everything apart from an apple. That you eat.
It's that bad.
