Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 16, 2024

Everytime a plugger thinks they might wanna try eating right after the holidays have come and gone along comes fish Friday, taco Tuesday, whiskey Wednesday, tequila Thursday, Easter, 4th of July, and summer barbacue season and ruins it!

This plugger loves sushi and rolls his own. Tis a Christmas eve tradition.

Of course fishies is favourite of kittys.

Or with malt vinegar.

Fish is the Dish ;-)

A rare occasion….dining out. Had sushi this evening plus hot sake. It was great but there is always that warning for senior pluggers and raw food. I made sure I had extra sake to ward off microbes. So much sake that I had my beloved wife, who drank tea, drive home.

Thanks be to Cod.

“If you knew Sushi, like I know Sushi, oh- oh- oh gastric distress.”

Actually, with Lemon pepper and baked.

I grew up as a non-Catholic in a predominantly Catholic small town in the midwest. The school had no cafeteria so country kids had to bring their lunches and eat in the school library. A lot of high schoolers would eat lunch at the town cafe instead. Fish Friday was a Catholic tradition [abstaining from eating meat] that was observed throughout the year. That meant Mac ’n Cheese or fried catfish at the cafe instead of hamburgers and hot beef sandwiches. My friends would moan and groan but I loved it —the Mac ’n Cheese was much better than we made at home. And I often pointed out that they could bring PBJ sandwiches and eat in the school library with the grade-schoolers instead.

Fish is what’s for lunch today.

YEAH. All varieties. (Except unagi) Top it off with a crunchyroll.

I went to Arbys here in Bozeman last week. I got the fish sandwich and it was great with just a little tartar sauce and cheese.

Errrrrr… sushi is the rice, not the fish

I do like fish like that, but I like vinegar-flavored rice wrapped in seaweed, too.

I’d suggest the beer battered halibut.

I could do that. Now I’m craving fish for dinner, and I took out liver!

Sushi, for me, is just bait on a plate. No thanks.

Friday Lenten fish fries start today. We have lots of them all over NE Ohio.

The thing I always hated most about school was Friday lunch. ALWAYS fish, & I can’t stand fish!

grew up on fish & chips in RI, and yes malt vinegar…and my grandmother made the best, no matter what kind of fish it was, but nowadays prefer with cod…but hey i’ve grown to love sushi too

my wife rolls her eyes when i joke about deep frying some sashimi. i’ll have to mention tartar sauce the next time… ☺

One of my favorite fish places growing up was Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. We also used to have Po’ Boys which had the best fried catfish, but that is also long gone. Man, I miss those places. We do still have Red Lobster for great seafood, but it is so expensive, so we can only go very occasionally.
