Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2007My cats might get the feed of their life tomorrow!
There was a monkfish tail at the supermarket tonight when I popped in for some bread quite late, going spare on it's sell-by-date. Convert the currency for USA by doubling it. It cost 7.65 and I got it for 0.50. My freezer is full of such bargains and no more room but how could I resist it? Hmm, now how should I cook it for them? Poached, baked in foil? I am particularly happy to get a white fish for KFC, given her kidney issues. Fish is really expensive here normally, so I trawl the supermarkets when they are about to close to see if I can get some for her. Tweed baked in foil if you don't get the poach just right you will ruin it Nothing wrong with bargains I go into the supermarket all the time and get the meat that is going out of date. you freeze it still good. Lamb can be very expensive here in Florida about $4 a pound for a cheap cut. I get a set on lamb steaks about 2.5 pounds for about $2 > There was a monkfish tail at the supermarket tonight when I popped in for > some bread quite late, going spare on it's sell-by-date.

Depending on the size, it takes three or four minutes. MLB You peer through the window and notice this crazy southern lady, sitting in her car gluing pipe cleaners to her cheeks near her nose. She's wrapped in a black cape and now she's applying....what?.....ears, cat ears to her head. But wait, she's getting out and walking up to Tweed's front door. She's knealing as if in prayer and if you listen closely you can hear her say "meow" "meow". You shake your head and chuckle as you walk away. You look at KFC and Boyfie and mutter, "Just another crazy cat lady" <sigh> Julie BonBon already has one of those costumes up and ready to go complete and ready with cat's meow. Take her with you. You'll be more convincing. Bridget > You peer through the window and notice this crazy southern lady, > sitting in her car gluing pipe cleaners to her cheeks near her nose.

However you cook it, they will love you for it!

I microwaved it and the smell made me retch and nearly vomit. Kitty ate some happily but Boyfie said "No way, are you mad?" I think it may have gone too far to be good. Does anyone know how to get that bad fish smell out of my house? Blech. I thought I remembered that boiling up lemon juice would do it. It didn't. My house absolutely stinks of bad fish. Tweed try boiling a pot of water with baking soda in it, Lee, hoping this is the same thing both sides of the pond... the stuff you bake with and brush your teeth with, Lee > >> There was a monkfish tail at the supermarket tonight when I popped in for > >> some bread quite late, going spare on it's sell-by-date.

That's the very last time I get some monkfish on its sell by date for my cats. It stank when I cooked it. Fish does, though, but it was not OK. It was so disgusting , the smell from it I nearly threw up. Tweed I had fish smell in general and that just had to be nasty, Lee > > try boiling a pot of water with baking soda in it, Lee, hoping this is the > > same thing both sides of the pond... the stuff you bake with and brush [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tweed >>> There was a monkfish tail at the supermarket tonight when I popped in >>> for [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Tweed Boil some lemon juice in water in the microwave. That doesn't work try baking soda. Leave a saucer of vinegar out to absorb the odor.

It has taken *days* to get the smell of that monkfish out of my house. It was sold as fit for human consumption and it certainly wasn't. I thought I would be giving Kitty a treat of an expensive white fish we could not normally afford. I won't be doing *that* again! It lurks in a sealed container in the fridge. I must find time this weekend to dispose of it, somehow. I will probably have to bury it in the garden. Tweed > Jo > It has taken *days* to get the smell of that monkfish out of my house.

I won't be doing *that* again! Hope Kitty didn't have any bad effects from it! Cat digestive systems are tougher than ours, but she's not a strapping young thing anymore. I would complain to the store where you bought it. They should pay better attention to what they're selling as "edible".

No bad effects for Kitty, she can eat absolutely *anything* no doubt due to to being a stray for so many years. Boyfie had the sense to say "you are joking if you expect me to eat this" > I would complain to the store where you bought it. They should pay > better attention to what they're selling as "edible". I'm considering it. I bought it for my cats, but it was really for humans. It was not fit for either. They should have thrown it. Twee > I microwaved it and the smell made me retch and nearly vomit.

I defrost and cook it in the microwave, but the smell lingers on and on. And I've never liked fish, so even though the seithe is fine, the smell is horrid to me.
