What's the weirdest meat / fish you've ever tried?

[JayJay 78]

For me personally I think it's got to be tortoise - it tasted a bit like pork but I had to try eat it with chopsticks around the full shell and bones

Ostrich and warthog are really nice meats

Not tried any super weird fish but yet but snails aint that nice

nothing too crazy, maybe stone crab which made me and my dad sick

Octopus for me probably, but to most people Haggis would probably be weirder

Used to conduct fish/shark mortality studies with commercial fishing gear out of Australia (Adelaide and Exmouth).

Caught a lot of weird things with sometimes the catch being dead by the time it made it to the boat.  I didn't want anything to go to waste, so I'd at least try to eat everything I killed.

I found the following to be completely inedible based on taste:

- Smooth hammerhead (strong metallic taste; high urea content in the meat)
- Grey reef shark (high urea content such that the meat tastes like pee no matter how it is prepared)
- Mullet (a dark red oily meat; some people actually like it but the taste was so powerful I couldn't handle it)

Some things that surprisingly didn't taste bad:

- copper shark (if prepared right, a very mild flavor with a very firm meat)
- Shovelnose ray (people actually cut their meat into cylinders and call it "imitation scallop")
- Queenfish (nice mild flavor)

Was pretty poor when I was conducting the work, and copper shark in a curry was a staple way of trying to get some protein.

Yeah in Malta it's really common to eat octopus, it's hella good

 

On topic though; probably horse meat for me, tasted like shit really
