My local fishmonger sometimes has this odd fish called rabbit fish (havmus/chimaera monstrosa). I can't find any info on preparing/eating it. It's not the same rabbit fish they eat in china. Anyone know anything about it? I'd a appreciate a boost so I might learn something about this mysterious sea dweller. #fish #cooking #food #recipe

Pescetarianism is sometimes lauded as an affordable, ethical, and climate friendly diet. In truth, however, it exonerates the what is arguably the most cruel and exploitative of all carnist industries, is the most expensive type of diet globally for all economic stages of development by country, and is ecologically and environmentally catastrophic.
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that pescetarianism is ethical or that it is good for the planet. Don't let anyone pretend it's the "affordable" option, when the reality is that it's nothing more than a luxury carnist diet.

Tool use by New World Halichoeres wrasses https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00338-025-02633-w
"#Wrasses use hard surfaces, also called 'anvils,' to crack open hard-shelled prey such as #crabs and #mollusks... researchers gathered 16 new observations across five species of #Halichoeres wrasses... suggest the behavior is far more common than previously thought."
The Nevada State Fish is Oncorhynchus henshawi henshawi (Lahontan cutthroat trout). It was once an important food source for the Paiute and Washoe tribes of Nevada and California. The fish evolved in the large endorheic Pleistocene Lake Lahonton that covered a portion of northeastern California and most of northwestern Nevada.
