Ugly Fish Is Seen As Aphrodisiac

The hagfish is a bottom feeder so repulsive it had a cameo on TV's "Fear Factor." It slimes its enemies, has rows of teeth on its tongue, and feeds on the innards of rotting fish by penetrating any orifice.

Quote:

Peter Chu, a seafood exporter in Eureka, Calif., said the fish sells for as much as $20 a pound in South Korea, which he estimates consumes 9 million pounds a year

I ain't sure about this, sounds kind of gross. But it also sounds like the Koreans like it.

If any of you have ever owned/seen an eelskin wallet there's a 99% chance it was actually a hagfish wallet.

I do not know about a hag fish but has anybody ever tried Monkfish ? It taste like lobster or it is called poor mans lobster. I had it at Fertita's and really liked it. I purchased some from a local seafood market and I cooked it and it taste like rubber. :eek:

These guys live at about 1500 feet deep in the ocean and are not that nice to look at !
