Steve in Mass Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Heard this on a cooking show, so I don't know how accurate the info is, but...can you guys guess what the top two most eaten fish in the world are? Number one may suprise you. I'll give it till Monday, then post the answers. No fair if you saw the show!!!!

Rick7 Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 1st thought is Tuna,so that has to be wrong I am thinking the Bait,the mulletis is eaten all around the world,even Ocean county.If all flatfish where the same,they would add up,but their are soo many species.Mullet is my answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillB Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Carp.....but I'll stick with broiled salmon with dill sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 O.K. I may be off the wall here but the world is a big place so a paradigm shift is called for. How about catfish and Talapia(sp)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Ah, nothing like a little trivia on a cold winter morning. Let's see. Squid and carp if you are counting non true fishes. If not, carp. Maybe tilapia.

Prefessa Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 #1 has to be COD. They are the most abused fish in the ocean. Netted, trawled dragged gilnetted yeow! #2 Would probably be Tuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Fish aka Poppy Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 I would be surprised if it were not a cold water fish. I would venture a guess of maybe Pollock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Powell Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 My vote... #1. Whiting #2. Cod SOL #18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve in Mass Posted January 28, 2000 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Some interesting answers. I'm not giving it away yet, but at least one of them has been mentioned. I'll still let it stew till Monday! "You know the Bill of Rights is serving its purpose when it protects things you wish it didn't."

TimS Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 In the world...big place...many fishes....lessee... I'd have to go with dogfish and tuna. (Now I'm gonna do a lil research later when I get a chance...maybe I can sneak an edit on this post and no one will be the wiser! ) TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 My votes are still: #1 pollock #2 sardines or anchovies. ------------------ Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Carp! gotta be! Those devils are all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DE Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 I agree .... Carp....or carp family of fish ie buffalo, drum (freshwater) etc..... Question is this "the most eaten fish" in pounds consumed or demand? Also do crustaceans qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Well, didn't see the show but I would have to agree with prefessa with the Tuna, I thought it would be the #1 but I'll put that second, and let's go with Haddock for the first choice. I have a hunch that the Cod is up there though. ------------------ ----------------------- Dubs a.k.a., Charlie Dubs AKA: Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
