" If you eat 20 loaches every day, you will be full of energy." :roll:

Loaches were a food source long before they became a pet. Worth keeping that in mind.

20 a day... well, that will take about 2 days to remove all the loaches... then on to the other fish, a week for the Endlers, I guess, another week for all the others put together...

...nah! I will just stay a vegetarian. Lots of energy in food prepared right!
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

Interesting statement:

"However, the taste differ less in present time because loach farming is so developed now."

Suggests that in the wild conditions change over the course of the year, perhaps leading to different foods or some other change that makes the Loaches taste different.
How can we make this relevant to Loach keeping?
Has anyone checked wild conditions' water chemistry as the rains come and go? Is there something in the forest or soil that is getting washed into the rivers?

yucky.... i knew that they ate loaches... i think the soup is made of dojo, although the article doesn't say so, i read it on a different site before....clown loaches are also considered food in some cultures, and they are eaten (to my understanding) mostly when they are pretty big

This topic comes up from time to time on this forum, and it's sad to see our prized loaches appearing on anyone's menus. From what we have heard here, it is generally Dojo loaches and their kin that are used in the Korean soup recipe. Others have mentioned seeing various Botiine species appear in food markets in SE Asia. And there are further references to descriptions of Botiine loach meat as "hard and smelly."

In some cuisines, it is enough to catch a net full of random, small, fresh water fish from your local stream in order to make a broth for the flavouring of other food, rice, etc...

Now that we know that "scaleless fish" in fact, have small scales--does it mean they are now kosher?

LOL! A distasteful, but worthy question... I wonder how many Koreans would mind, either way... 8)
