A Fish Goes To Court


There have been many debates about this one fish. Some say salmon is best for sushi, others say the fish is best when seasoned and fried. To find out the answer, I say, "Let us salmon the judge!"

No one —and I mean no one— in this world has never eaten salmon. That's a fact. Unless you're allergic to the fish or you're some kind of a weirdo. For as long as seafood existed, salmon has been one of the major favorites; be it by consumers or chefs. Its firm and delicious meat has been the talk of many many mouths, and the call of numerous seafood-craved taste buds. 

Now the first party argues, "What is better, than thin sliced salmon on top of a sushi roll?" And the jury nodded their heads in consideration. Salmon in sushi is bite sized, and easy to chew and swallow. One wouldn't have to worry about fish bones. Indeed what is better? 

The opposing party stated, "Such hassle you have to go through. When you can simply season and fry the fish. What is better than simply cooked salmon that you can easily prepare whenever you want?" And the jury nodded their heads in consideration. What-ever indeed? You can eat the whole fish for yourself. 

The court grew noisier, much like a hungry tummy. The judge, having witnessed it all, decided now is the time to give a verdict. He said, “The court has reached a decision. The right way to cook and prepare a salmon is… without a doubt how-ever a person likes it. There is no point in arguing, for the fish in question is and has always been a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.” And then the judge struck the gavel on the wooden block. 

As for the people who attended the trial, they have learned so much. That no matter the method and recipe used in cooking the fish or any seafood, as long as it lives up to the person whom it was cooked for, there should be no problem at all. Whether a salmon was bought from the wet market, the grocery store, or from online stores and websites it doesn’t matter, for a good fish will always be a good fish.
