currently bulking and i was wondering if goldfish is bad for you. just bought a pack of it, and is hungry...
Is goldfish bad for you? Sure, why not? Back in the 20's college boys used to swallow them live and whole, they thought this would impress the girls. It musta worked cause they produced a whole 'nother generation of college boys who impressed the girls by goin off to WW2. (The first person on record to have done this was Lothrop Withington Jr, Harvard's 1919 football captain [and perhaps a certified idjit], the world record, set by a Los Angeles College student in 1974, is 300.) I do not recommend swallowing them whole, you miss all the nuances of flavor you get by chewin um up real good. And you do want to chew good cause they have lots of bones, the smaller ones are mostly bones. You can fry the small ones up crisp and eat them crunchy bones and all. Start a trend, serve small crispy fried goldfish on the larger goldfish crackers as appetizers at your next kegger, or as Hors d'oeuvres at your next spelling bee. I would avoid the fancier types such as veil tails, fan tails, and tri-tails as all the extra finnage just means more bones. I'd especially stay away from the bubble eyes, as they will be staring mournfully at you as you try to eat them. However if you choose the Black Moor, you can have blackened goldfish without having to worry about over cooking it. If you prefer fillets or a larger meal, Goldfish do get up to 2 feet long and over 6 pounds. Gold fish are carp, Carassius auratus, the domestic version of the Crucian carp, C. carassius, if you prefer them cooked any carp recipe would work. Gold fish are low in sodium and have no sugar, they are very high in protein and phosphorous, high in selenium and vitamin B12. A fair source of iron and calcium ('specially if you eat the bones), they are however high in cholesterol. http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/15009.html They can be an inexpensive meal, common comets can be purchased at pet shops for around half a buck, or cheaper as feeder fish; a couple of bucks for a dozen at a bait shop, or even free as prizes at county fair ring toss games. But prices get up into the thousands and even more (paid by people who are defiantly 'certifiable idjits.') It depends on if you want fast food or fine gourmet dining. Bon apetit! ( Which is French for look out for the bones.)
