Is there a Sustainable Seafood Guide that is applicable to Bonaire. When dining out what fish should we not eat and what fish is in abundance? I hate to eat my little reef buddy but am a fish eater! I see so few grouper that I am guessing that is one.

Thanks for this post. Great idea for it to be posted and maybe stickied at the top of the dinning page.

I'm not a big fan of broiled firm fleshed fish but a couple of years ago had a bite of my husbands piece of grouper on St. Croix. Loved it and very sorry to see that it's on the endangered list.
Neither of us will be ordering it again.

Elizabeth..generally the pelagic fish are fine to eat. e.g. wahoo, barracuda, dorado ( aka dolphin, mahi-mahi), Marlin, Tuna. Blue runner and snapper are found on the reef but should also be fine.
Remember; NO GROUPER.

Here is one I found and use. You can download a pocket guide - see the center of the page.

Don't feel bad about eating the [legal] fishies. They eat each other all the time!

If you're in the ocean, you're doing one of two things. Eating someone else or getting eaten. It's just the way it works.

e.

I use the Monterey Bay guide at home. Just wondering if there is anything more Bonaire specific.

Please avoid Marlin as well. I know it is served smoked at a certain un-named restaurant and I doubt their marlin is coming from Hawaii.

Consumer Note:
When purchasing blue marlin, be sure that it was caught in the Hawaiian fishery.

Tuna is a very mixed bag too that i would definitely NOT put in the safe to eat category.

When on Bonaire order the Wahoo ...

What should I order the Wahoo to do?

He looks
He pauses
He ponders
He declines comment

Nice wahoo

now I know why Tom & Timmmy like triangles

Yep, welcome to the club.

It's a math thing.

This one was fresh for our dinner at Richard's last May. He gets his from the fish house next door.

Liked the Wahoo better

I say...WAHOOOOOOOOO

My wahoo used to look like that......

LMAO TO ALL...omg.. Dianna, my wahoo used to look like that too...



snort

Roy, i just got the triangle joke...LMAO!

Holy mackeral! We're even Timmmy! I can even smell that fish.

You all are too funny!

OMG - LMAO - now THIS is a great chat!!
I think 3 1/3rds makes a whole - but ever 1 whole of those triangles is not enough for my wahoo....oh dear - to much information.....

LMAO.......I know somebody was singing Wahooooo to the tune of that Yahoo commercial LOL!!!

I am sorry. This is all my fault. Flagellating.

e.

Eric I hope we did not offend your Wahoo. It was all complimentary.!.It has been one of the most fun chats I've had for a while.. Cheers for the laugh.!!
Elisabeth - we have the same seafoodwatch guides downloadable from that website, they are updated yearly- sometimes you will find the paper pocket guides near the coupons and flyers of local grocery stores, or on your fish mongers till.

Dianna...LOL!

KIV YAHOOO WAHOOO!

Eric, you are excused...WTH is Kelly, Eric said "flagellating."

Oh, and nice Dorado too Grunt...LOL

Grunt showed us his Dorado? I'm gonna have to go back and look now.

That chick better enjoy her Wahoo while she can...it's not gonna stay fresh forever.....

O M G......snort

Fresh Wahoo
She reads...
She thinks.....
She chooses to not drag the chat to the depths of her very bad humour.....

If we've shown up, trust me....it's only going south....

Did I mention that down in Community Chat I made a nice Irish Soda Bread?

e.

Could someone please call my mom and tell her what a good boy I'm being.
Thus far
wahoo

Flagellating
Irish soda bread?

Oh say can you seeeeee my isoceleeeeeee
(tragically bad geometry pun or in Joespeak peometry gun)

nighty nite
Baron of Brie

Joe, LMAO

CB, Dianne, and Cheezit...

double

Wow, I missed some good stuff; so sorry but I was very busy this weeekend flagellating my wahoo.

Kel

We calls that "quiet time" down here....and we rarely admit it.

I call it Mommy's Takin a Bath 'round these parts... hee hee....

SURE needed this laugh today, THANKS ALL !!!

Is that an isosceles triangle, right triangle, or equilateral triangle you are talking about above. Please be specific, as geometry, in my opinion, is the eloquence of mathematics.

kelly, link, bout time you showed up! haha...

i like CB's "she better use that wahoo while she can; cause it ain't staying fresh forever."

snort snort snort...

amen to my sista CB... amen girl!!!!
(they make products for that)

Joe's law of intergalactic limbo

Just when the bar of good taste has been lowered as far as it could conceivably go, someone (and it always seems that it's someone I know) liquifies and oozes under.

I love you liquidpeople

Products?.....ewwwwww

Noone mentioned that species was the hairless variety of Wahoo.............Even lower she sinks......

At this point, I think you are mistaking wahoo for certain seasonal mollusks.....

OMG lMAO. I can't take it. snort snort
