I was at a Fish/Seafood Store in Murrells Inlet, SC and they had Trigger Fish for sale. I bought some Grouper, to cook at home.

Nice!!! Not in view of your fish tank?

Lol
I’m half Norwegian, I’ll eat a Clown fish!

In Indonesia or the Philippines I would be quite sure the Tridacna is taken from a reef and I would reject it.

I had the opportunity to eat Tridacna sashimi on Bintan, an Indonesian island next to Singapore. I did not order it. I had seen Tridacnas snorkeling in the reef and that the restaurant offering the Tridacna sashimi already had build a wall of Tridacna shells. This is exactly what is threatening these species, overexploitation.

Do you have a guilty conscience now? - Good

Wow! You’ve been around!!! A wall of shells? Huh? Definitely something to think about.

No I don't. But, I may just have to start eating clams. ;Sour

Yes, I have been at the Aquarama fair in Singapore and added a few days on this island.

Yes, a kind of wall, actually just stacked Tridacna shells, ca. knee-high and at least 20 m (ca. 60 feet) long, if I remember right.

I have to admit brother, I’m a big clam chowder fan!

Here’s a picture from Harrelson’s Seafood store site of the Trigger. They said they have a Crab, Shrimp, Clam Flavor, rather than a Fish Flavor.

Amazing!!! Thanks for the black and white version of this photo. It lessens the pain.

That was the Actual Color of the Trigger Fish, not the pretty colors of our aquarium fish. I asked if I could take a picture of their display case, and they acted funny about it. I pulled the picture off of their website. Also they were huge. Next time I visit, I‘m going to bring something, so I can grill one outside. BTW, I was at a Disney Restaurant, years ago, and ordered Fried Grouper. His Cousin was watching me eat him from the Restauran’s Wrap Around Aquarium.

Tough call. If the angel fish like it I guess it must taste good?

If anyone finds a video of them serving GSP let me know. I can offer to be their sole wholesale provider.

Fish, any color cooked any way!!!!! Love it! The fried Grouper at Disney must have been Disney World yes? My wife and I were in Anaheim Disneyland just last month. Actually they might have fish in the New Orleans area?
