Long hailed as a 'living fossil,' Coelacanth fish exposed as Evolving Under The Radar (Page 2/2)

Seeing the comments about dining on Coelacanth just jogged my memory.

Don't... unless you think the novelty of it is worth bringing on yourself a case of acute diarrhea.

Don't... because you wouldn't even be the first to do it.

I am just going to offer the links without my usual standardized Internet page citation format.

From one of your links:

One of the first people to encounter the coelacanth in the twentieth century described it as poor smelling, "mucus-covered" - a quality rarely associated with decent food.


That perfectly describes okra.

Up in your corner of the world, they probably call it something fancy like Bhindi Arcadien, served with a fine langostino etuffee.

I had to look that up. Squat lobster.
I was curious because I have eaten what seems like 9 gondola carloads of Langusta (spiny lobster), mostly during the years I lived in Cuba.
They were everywhere there in Guantanamo Bay, huge in size, very sweet taste and there was no limit on them at that time.
We probably had them 2-3 times each week.
