What's for supper? Traditional Newfie food.

[Lionfish Lair]

I'm from an island in Canada and our food can be... odd, at times. Tonight I had a feed! Anyone want some? I'll share if you know what it is!

Chicken

Perhaps closer to being "chicken of the sea".

While you taste IT, IT tastes you O.O

One thing I know for sure, it's something I'd never taste! There are only a few things I'll eat from the sea, and this isn't one of them....I can tell.

I'm guessing tongue from some creature.....maybe seal.

It looks veeerrrry familiar. Looks like chicken thighs so maybe flounder or halibut? But those are common so im gonna go with some kind of eel or the belly of something big.

There's only one part of the seal we regularly eat.

I figure this guy would love to tell you, but he might be a little hard to understand (the fish, not the fisherman).

 

[BrettMallette]

Niiiice! Fisherman might've been a lil rough to understand as well with a newfie accent...[emoji14]

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Idk but in all seriousness, it looks delicious!

I was going to say the same thing!!! Just for saying it looks yummy, come on over for a feed of Cod Tongues!

 

[Daniel@R2R]

I want some!!

 

[James Jordan]

Cod tongue?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Yes, yes it is. Fried to a crispy goodness.

I had them once. They weren't for me but not nearly as gross as I expected. I visited a friend after Cod season or skrei? as he called it. There were plenty of tongues to be had.

I would say it had a scallop taste but more... fishy? That's a terrible explanation.

skrei

Where was your friend from?

 

[James Jordan]

Where was your friend from?

Originally from Norway or Sweeden I think

I've had cow tongue. And it was amazing!! Softest most melty cut ever. I would definitely try that.
