very rarely in my house do we eat anything but what we have gathered, be it fish or fowl... duck, goose, chukar, quail, pheasant, salmon and crab are all regular dinners at my place.
i try to eat all the fish i catch or give it away to people... my next door neighbor is 85 and he gets a lot of fish as he is no longer able to fish himself but still loves to eat it. plus he gave me all his gear when he retired from the sport so i owe him big time...
i would guess that people that frequent this board rarely let much go to waste, the biggest waste i see is from people who make their annual trip and fill the freezer only to forget about it and throw it out before the big trip next year.
