I snapped on the thread expecting a genuine poll, with color bars.

Armored catfish.
Slapping newcomers with exotic fish is a better alternative than releasing them in the wild.
In fact, come to think of it, we probably shouldn't release exotic fish into the wild, either. http://nas.er.usgs.gov/taxgroup/fish/docs/dont_rel.asp
Oh, wait. The poll just posted and armored catfish isn't one of the options. Never mind.

I've heard of Armoured Hotdogs, but never Armoured Catfish.
The only "armor" I want on my catfish is deep-fried cornmeal batter.

Octopus as long as one gets hit by the head end (its nice and squishy) and not the tenticle end.

I heard there is a youtube video of an octopus eating a shark at the Seattle Aquarium. We might need to rethink octopus. I'd hate to have a new member eaten during their welcome ceremony.

Enuma, have you been properly fish slapped, or did you sneak in through the upper forum?

My first two choices (snapper and grouper) weren't there so I went with the 3rd (flounder).

Your not supposed to eat red snapper ( my favorite) because they've been over fished. Now they try to sell you something called "redfish".EnumaElish said:

Herring...they're very small. A bit oily, sure, but I can shower afterward.

http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/seamehg2.html says a Chilean sea bass measured in 2004 had one of the highest Mercury levels ever recorded in fish (2.18). Other measurements of sea bass are lower; it looks like as a group swordfish tops all.Evo said:No... I love sea bass.

And, no, I was never properly slapped. :disappointed:

I used the raw flounder, I hope that was your choice.

I chose fresh flounder because they are flexible, thin, and very wide and give a satisfying "SMACK!"

While I perfer the sharp sting of the frozen flounder, then you can use said fish to keep the swelling down

I see that flounder has pulled ahead. Is this because of Enuma's poisonous remarks about sea bass?
