Anyone Else Feel Guilty?

[Fish Styx]

Tonight, while eating a meal of baked salmon and sweet potato, I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, given my love for this hobby. In fact, this feeling hits me every time I eat fish. I mean, I still do, but still...

Anyone else experience this, or just me? A lot is discussed here about our favorite specimens to keep in our little oceans, but not much regarding the ones we like to enjoy on the dinner plate. What's yours?

Not passing on seafood because of an aquarium

Salmon are objectively ulgy compared to compared to the fish we keep in our tanks... so that makes it OK.

Edit: forgot to add my tuna in.

All solid points. To make two things clear: 1) I'm not passing on eating fish either- it's a passing feeling; and 2) I don't think I've eaten fish sticks in over 20 years. lol. However, I've always wondered how they were caught, seeing as how they could slip through the nets so easily!

Blackened and lightly seared. One of my favs! Yours looks like sesame and fried soba noodles though, yes?

The fish stick with a chunk missing from it says otherwise

Lightly seared with sesame. Fried wonton wrappers. Still yummy.

Making me hungry.
This is just black pepper encrusted.

My wife was somewhat of a vegetarian when I met her...she would eat fish thankfully. She expanded her diet to chicken and turkey. We say she only eats ugly animals.....piglets and calves are too cute and cuddly eat.

I don't feel guilty. I come from a line of farmers/ livestock trade. I raise trout professionally, fish for many species as well a keep some in a reef tank.

It's what I do.

Not even when I'm eating fish or an animal I hunted. We are all a part of the circle of life. But trophy hunters suck.

I may have posted them before. When you stalk someone you tend to see all of their photos. Maybe you were there and I just didn't know.
