Golden Pampano

Pampanos also known as Pompanos are marine fishes in the Trachiotus genus of the Carangidae family.  They are basically fishes, which are just too lovely to be eaten to be eaten to me.

Better known as "Jacks".  They could stare back whether uncooked or cooked.

I always pick the fish that could stare back at me. Best way to tell a good fish from a bad one.  I never would buy a fish with bloodshot eyes. A pair pair of  bloodshot fish eyes won't look good on a picture. I bought the fish from the Asian store. I asked the sales person to just weigh the fish and not bother cleaning and cutting it up.

Don't feel  sorry for cut up Pompanos in a wok.  I am still savoring the pickled golden pampano  I cooked with every spice I found in the kitchen that might be fitting for this golden fish.

Don't even feel sorry for Nemo.  Fishes are meant to be eaten not to be replicated into a stuff toy.
