Going to a pub or restaurant and ordering Calimari, and getting the processed non-genuine mush they shouldn't be allowed to call Calimari!!!!

My wife ordered calamari once when we were in Coober Pedy. I said Dear, we are 800Km from water so not a good move. When those thick processed rings turned up it took me 5 mins to stop laughing.

I ordered them on the weekend at a Pub surrounded by water, wasn't happy Jan

Exactly, when in Darwin I dont order King George Whiting and when in Adelaide I dont order Barramundi....simple geographics

It's not necessarily always simple though, you would have thought at somewhere like Middleton surely genuine Calimari wouldn't be much to expect?

Probably a question of profit too. In the '70's it was common here to order breaded scampi in a pub or restaurant and get disguised monk fish cos it was one of the cheapest fish you could buy and most people would know the difference. Then celeb cooks started to big up monk fish in it's own right and the price went through the roof so now your scampi is usually just that.

Oddly, the only decent fish I could get while I was in Melbourne's outer east was Barramundi.
But that was at only one outlet in The Basin run by a Greek guy who had a passion for it.
Nobody else nearby offered it, and the stuff they locals called "Whiting" wasn't Whiting...
[I always got some Whiting at Port Adelaide when I was over here visiting.]

People who complain that the new netballs we use at my work are to slippery, yet these are the first people to complain when the balls are a tad old.

Their that useless anyway, they couldn't catch a beach ball.

Just to muddy the waters so to speak, what is butterfish supposed to be?

*chuckle*

Most of the barramundi sold in Darwin comes from Indonesian fish farms - certainly the stuff sold down at the wharf precinct...

A lot of the barramundi caught up there gets exported or freighted to Sydney/Melbourne...

Just as happy eating barramundi here in Adelaide as in Darwin as there is only four hours difference in freight time.

They waters are rather muddied according to this search - it varies...

Butterfish SHOULD be Mulloway. I would think it rarely is though.

More often Flake or something simliar.

Someone i know used to swear by a fish they bought called 'Basa' - said it was the tastiest fish he had ever ate. That was until he found out it was actually Mekong River Catfish !!!

Bloody things placed in my toilet by the beloved recently moved in resident female that turns the toilet bowl into a pool of bubbles on the 1st flush. This leads to massive complications . You have to wait for 3 min for the bubbles to die off for the politically correct SKIDDY CHECK or fish around trying to sneak a look with the dunny brush that creates more friggin bubbles .If you dont have the time and take your chances she finds a SKIDDY everytime when the bubbles have disappeared . Not only this but if your explosion was let's say" more violent" it is possible to actually hit the bloody thing hanging in the rim of the bowl and then you have to go the brush anyway and a follow up flush to clean the brush and that is all BEFORE looking for the real damage further on in . The Murray is rooted due to the dunny trip now being a mandatory 3 flush experience just to be sure.What is a man to do I ask? I just want my dunny back to the good old days when the world was a far less complicated place.

[Q.]

"Skiddy Check"

[Lightning McQueen]

Politely say to her "Can you please wipe your skiddies off the toilet bowl when you have finished" take the chance that she doesn't have the time for the "skiddy check". She might use alternative toilet hygiene methods.

Brilliant perspective Lightning, How does she bloody do it??

[Pseudo]

Obnoxiously chauvinistic solution: Leave the skid mark. If it bothers her, let her be the one who cleans it. What's a red-blooded bloke worrying about skid marks for in the first place?

[Booney]

With the Rat & Parrot, The Slug & Lettuce, The Elephant & Wheelbarrow, perhaps the Fart & Skidmark, oh, I dunno, perhaps in the middle of Rundle St could be a hit?
