This is one of the most questions I get asked when I tell people what I do as a fish vet.
“You love fish?”
“Yes.”
“Do you eat fish?”
“Yes.”
They reply with a puzzled look,”But I thought you look after them. Why do you still eat fish?”
I could reply,”Do you keep mammals?… Then you still eat cow?”
But instead, I likened it to a person who keeps a pet parrot would still eat chicken.
Now they realise that a fish is not just a fish, just like a bird is not just a bird, and a mammal is not just a mammal.
Having said that I eat fish, my friend once exclaimed that the pig is the tastiest animal on the planet.
So, bacon and eggs for tomorrow morning might be the go.
