“Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly are seriously like brothers to me.”
― Adam Cole
“I’ve been in a lot of different factions my whole career, and all the guys who made up those factions are different performers. For example, if you look at the Undisputed Era as a whole, I’m very different than Roderick Strong, who’s very different from Kyle O’Reilly, who’s very different from Bobby Fish.”
― Adam Cole
“So when you’re following guys like Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish or The Young Bucks or Jay Lethal or The Briscoe Brothers, and you’re going out and trying to really stick out and have a very memorable, talked-about main event, or the match of the night, like the main event should be, it’s really challenging.”

“If I am making a spice rub or a spice mix for a braise or even just to crust a piece of fish, I’ll use mustard seeds. If you soak them in a little bit of vinegar and let them get plumped and soft and then you puree them, they’re delicious.”

― Alice Waters
“I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It’s a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It’s very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.”
― Alton Brown
“I eat really clean and really simple: brown rice, a quinoa bowl, grilled fish, veggies, a big salad.”
― Amber Valletta
“India allows you the luxury of a million inequalities. You can be a schoolboy selling tea to passengers sitting in a state transport bus, but you are royalty when compared to a shirtless, barefoot village boy, from what was traditionally considered an untouchable caste, living on snails and small fish – and sometimes rats.”
― Amitava Kumar
“I really love fish, so I’ll mix between that and meat, but I have to have protein. I can’t survive without it.”

― Anthony Joshua
“I think in both of those situations, it’s important as an actor to learn, despite the success I had as a kid, that it’s important to understand what it means to be a small fish in a big pond.”
― Anthony Michael Hall
“Underwater, I experience space with my body. I’ll see a school of fish gathering and moving together and I’ll exclaim, ‘This is architecture.’”
― Antoine Predock
“I’m definitely more of an extreme eater. I’m decadent on weekends and try to go plant-based during the week with a bit of fish – pescatarian thrown in.”
― Antoni Porowski
“No one can pretend to say that a fish is ever killed by heat, for many kinds of fish, in the middle of summer, and in the burning heat of the sun, do either play, as it were, on the surface of the water, or hide themselves under the leaves, weeds, or other substances at the bottom.”
― Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
“Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath.”

“Divorce is the cheapest thing in Pakistan. About 30 cents. Cheaper than fish and chips. I’ve had clients married to very rich men for 40 years, then turned out on the road with nothing.”
― Asma Jahangir
“You know how fighting fish do it? They blow bubbles and in each one of those bubbles is an egg and they float the egg up to the surface. They keep this whole heavy nest of eggs floating, and they’re constantly repairing it. It’s as if they live in both elements.”
― Audre Lorde
“I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tuna Fish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock.”
― Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
“80 percent of our global fish stocks are fully exploited, overly exploited or have collapsed. Two billion people rely on the oceans for their primary source of protein.”
― Barton Seaver

“Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.”
― Bobby Flay
“I think that most people would associate big schools of fish with healthy coral reefs. At Kingman, the predators keep the herd thin, so there aren’t a lot of big fish schools.”

― Cate Campbell
“I’m always up for music shows such as Jools Holland, but news more than anything, particularly Newsnight. And cookery: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Rick Stein – it’s down to him that I cook fish so much – and the great food alchemist Heston Blumenthal.”
― Charles Hazlewood

“Going from ‘Shark Night’ to ‘Piranha,’ a guy holding a fish on a stick in front of you that they’re going to replace in post-production, it’s a lot different than seeing this animatronic shark that, if you get caught up in the moment, looks, acts and you sometimes think could be real.”
― Chris Zylka
“I know when I was little, having my Thai mom, even I was weird about fish sauce and fish heads and clams. I kind of sided with my dad because he was a big American guy. So, we were very meat and potatoes, but I really wish I had grown up appreciating my mom’s taste a bit more.”
― Chrissy Teigen
“I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.”

“The anchovy which is found in the sea at Athens, men despise on account of its abundance and say that it is a poor man’s fish; but in other cities, they prize it above everything, even where it is far inferior to the Attic anchovy.”
― Chrysippus
“The immediacy of the technology of the web allows us, as songwriters, to write something very sharp and quick. That has a lot to do with helping a songwriter be more reflective of reality, instead of being in an area where you have to process things. It’s the difference between processing fish and catching it in a boat.”
― Chuck D
“Now people who keep fish disturb me the most, if I’m totally honest. They always smell a bit like fish food and they know just a bit too much about eels.”
― Claudia Winkleman
“I was once dressed as a mermaid for a Jean Paul Gaultier show. My legs were bound into a fish tail, so I had to come down the runway on crutches. Halfway down, I was supposed to unzip the fish tail to reveal my legs, but the zipper broke, so I ended up stabbing my fake nail through the fabric of the zipper and ripping my way out.”
― Coco Rocha
“Well, it seems all the fish in the rivers are dying. Could this be an act of cod?”

“I eliminated coffee and fish from my diet. The pesticides in coffee and fish, as well as the mercury in the latter, are considered possible contributors to birth defects in fetal tissue.”
― Constance Marie
“When you see a fish you don’t think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water… If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.”
― Constantin Brancusi
“As a rough rule of thumb, I would say the smaller the pond, the more belligerent the fish.”
― Craig Brown

“I’m developing a physiological theory of growth and oxygen requirement. If it’s well-understood how fish require oxygen to grow, then we can understand how to deal with the impact of global warming.”
― Daniel Pauly
“While the climate crisis gathers front-page attention on a regular basis, people – even those who profess great environmental consciousness – continue to eat fish as if it were a sustainable practice.”
― Daniel Pauly
“There is no need for an end to fish, or to fishing for that matter. But there is an urgent need for governments to free themselves from the fishing-industrial complex and its Ponzi scheme, to stop subsidizing the fishing-industrial complex and awarding it fishing rights, when it should in fact pay for the privilege to fish.”
― Daniel Pauly
“A gluten-free diet still allows you access to almost every fruit and vegetable, a variety of grains and legumes, your pick of dairy products, fresh meats and fish and a whole slew of special gluten-free delights to satisfy your pretzel-bagel-muffin-doughnut craving.”
― Daphne Oz
“You’ve got to think lucky. If you fall into a mudhole, check your back pocket – you might have caught a fish.”
― Darrell Royal
“We moved to a town that’s predominately Caucasian, some Hispanic and one or two black families, and they do shrimping for a living. Here come hundreds of Vietnamese doing the same occupation. So there was a lot of tension because people were saying we were taking money, shrimp, fish or whatever it is.”
― Dat Nguyen

“The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn’t have eyeballs or fins.”
― Dave Barry
“There are many things to admire about Japan but this is the one thing I love the most and probably the only time I eat breakfast. Fish, eggs, soup, salad, veggies; all in the tiniest bites. It’s a full meal, but it’s so refreshing.”

― David Kirsch
“I, as prime minister, never went to Washington. Certainly never went to a presidential ranch. I hate to say this, but I wasn’t going to be the pilot fish to the shark, whereas Australia quite happily bobbed along like a happy little pilot fish with a shark who was a messy eater, and I just couldn’t feel like that.”
― David Lange
“I still haven’t quite got used to eating live fish.”
― David Mitchell
“No one does a better, cleaner, or environmental friendlier, than the United States, when it comes to drilling for oil, gas, coal, oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.”

“The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle.”
― Dean Kamen
“I eat nothing that’s processed or refined – no high-fructose corn syrup, no sugar, no trans-fats. I eat a lot of fish and monounsaturated fats from olives, olive oil and nuts. A lot of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables. No bread. No gluten. No wheat. No rice.”

― Dick Dale
“There is hardly a place on Earth where people do not log, pave, spray, drain, flood, graze, fish, plow, burn, drill, spill or dump. There is no life zone, with the possible exception of the deep ocean, that we are not degrading.”
― Donella Meadows
“Both the United States and the world economy have already reached – and surpassed – their sustainable physical limits. Ground water is being drawn down, soils eroded, forests cut faster than they grow, fish caught faster than they reproduce, non-renewable fossil fuels burnt without developing substitutes.”

― Eddi Reader
“Squid don’t eat jellyfish, but they eat the things that eat the jellyfish. Jellyfishes put on a lightshow to attract a larger predator. It’s caught in the clutches of something like a fish and has no hope for escape unless its lightshow attracts something bigger that will attack their attacker.”
― Edith Widder
“I was getting bored and, I think, being a real pest. I remember Brando coming and sitting on the bed and cutting out the most exquisite paper fish, with detailed scales and fins. Then he took a hotel pen and a piece of string and made a fishing pole.”

― Elle Fanning
“I respected it. I submerged myself into it. So on a lot of days off I would go and fish with the fishermen and the families that ran the boats. I would go work the fields with farmers. I would go and talk with farmers about growing particular products for me.”
― Emeril Lagasse
“Wrap fish fillets, sliced veggies, and other quick-cooking items inside foil packets with bundles of fresh herbs and throw them directly on the grill; the steam will release the herb’s perfume and flavor anything contained inside the pouch.”
― Emeril Lagasse
“We’ll be going to the fish market and a farmer’s market this afternoon to get what we need to make and eat dinner as a family. I’m trying to expose my kids to going to a farmers market or the fish market and learning what that’s all about.”
― Emeril Lagasse
“You have to be cautious of eating continuously the same thing. Beef comes to mind right away, and there’s nothing wrong with beef, but you’ve got to do whatever you’re doing in moderation. So try to break it up a little bit. Eat some fish or some shellfish at least a couple of times a week.”
― Emeril Lagasse

“Fishermen own the fish they catch, but they do not own the ocean.”

“But I love fish, cheese and meat, and I eat everything, but only in small quantities if it’s rich.”
― Eva Herzigova
“People set newspapers on fire; they use them for wrapping fish. The Internet does not have that property. What I don’t think we’ve gotten is that you can make things last longer than in print.”
― Ezra Klein
“Why not mix this and that? If soy goes well with fish, how come no one does beef carpaccio with soy? Why do we have such a taste and not another? It’s all about culture. There is something, however, that I really don’t like: bell peppers.”
― Ferran Adria
“There are many cultural prejudices. For instance, even though fresh fish is a regional staple, Catalans don’t like sashimi.”

“’Justice League’ takes place in the past, and Aquaman has a lot more to prove. He’s just starting out. The perception is already beginning, and all these super humans are just showing up, and here’s Aquaman. The perception is, ‘What’s next? Now we’ve got a guy talking to fish. What can be next?’”
― Geoff Johns
“Cooking a piece of fish and cooking it right. Knowing the fish, knowing the properties of the fish. That’s a hard thing to do rather than covering it with a lot of sauces and foams or other cooking methods that might be high wire acts and look good on the outside.”
― Geoffrey Zakarian
“A plate of food has to have balance. For example, a mild fish like skate mustn’t be overwhelmed by the side dishes. They should have personality and color, but they also have to be subtle.”

― Joanna Lumley
“Way back in the 1970s, I was eating a steak, and I looked down, and for the first time it suddenly looked like flesh to me – like a dead creature. In a flash, I realized that every time I ate any kind of meat, something had been killed for me, and I stopped eating all animals, not just cows and pigs but chickens and fish.”
― Joanna Lumley
“Street-casting – people like Katie Jarvis in ‘Fish Tank,’ spotted having a row with her boyfriend on a railway platform – has helped make actors raise their game. They have to.”
― Joe Dempsie

“Although measuring omega-3 levels in the blood seems like it would be an objective and accurate indicator of fish oil intake compared to using the subjects’ reported dietary intake, this test does not accurately reflect long-term dietary intake.”

― Joel Robuchon
“I think humans have to learn a new way of dwelling on this earth. A way of living with their companions: animals, plants and fish.”

― John C. Hawkes
“I deep sea fish a lot.”
― John Entwistle
“If we don’t preserve the oceans from nitrate runoff and plastic and chemicals, and if we don’t preserve it from acidification, and if we don’t preserve it from grotesque overfishing – too much money chasing too few fish – we’re going to have the most massive ecosystem on the planet in peril.”
― John F. Kerry
“He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.”
― John Lennon

“It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.”
― John Steinbeck
“After a solid day of fishing, I’m craving something hearty. That’s where a jug of buttermilk comes in. Poaching fish in buttermilk yields the luscious texture and pure flavor, but with a more substantial richness and a poaching liquid you’ll want to lap up with a spoon.”
― Jonathan Miles
“I first encountered fish jerky during a marlin tournament in Kona, Hawaii. It was steeped in the island flavors of ginger, soy, and pineapple.”
― Jonathan Miles
“The perfect way for an angler who loves to cook to show off his fish is serving it whole, fresh off the grill, with crispy skin and moist flesh. Problem is, that’s not usually how it happens.”
― Jonathan Miles
“Roasting fish that’s encased inside a salt crust is a centuries-old method of ensuring moist, ultra-flavorful flesh.”
― Jonathan Miles

― Jonathan Miles
“For me, there’s something likable but not quite lovable about poached fish: the ultraclean flavor, the melt-away texture, the no-fat virtuousness.”
― Jonathan Miles
“Technically, fish can last up to half a year in a freezer, but their quality starts to slide after the first month.”
― Jonathan Miles
“Again and again we are confronted with the reality – some might say the problem – of sharing our space with other living things, be they dogs, trees, fish or penguins.”

― Joseph Bruchac
“I usually fish a Hornberg or a Muddler Minnow, a deer-haired streamer that comes in a variety of sizes and colors but replicates a sculpin minnow or a grasshopper. Even if a trout doesn’t take the larger streamers, it can usually be counted on to come up and give a look, revealing its location.”
― Joseph Monninger
“I like to fish when it’s not too hot.”
― Josh Turner
“Someone may offer you a freshly caught whole large fish, like a salmon or striped bass. Don’t panic – take it!”
― Julia Child

― Karl Pilkington
“Whether it is fear of having fish pie or staying in someone’s house or not being able to tell the time, all of those things I can remember very clearly. We so often forget how big all these things are for very small children because they are so often trying these things for the first time.”
― Kate DiCamillo
“I’m a huge ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ fan, but that was also Henry Selick. I’m a really big fan of ‘Sleepy Hollow.’ I love ‘Big Fish,’ too, which is a bit different. There’s a really cool era of early-Burton stuff like ‘Ed Wood’ that I’m a big fan of.”
― Kate Leth
“My first songs were about animals and shoes. I wrote one song about PF Flyers, and one to my fish.”
― Kate Micucci
“I do follow a version of the Dukan diet, but I don’t follow it to the extreme so a lot of fish and vegetables. If I want chocolate I’ll let myself have a bit of chocolate in moderation.”
― Katherine Jenkins
“I just try to stick to clean foods, anything grilled like salmon, chicken, fish, brown rice, and veggies. I do have a really big sweet tooth, so I try to curb my cravings with fruit instead.”
― Katherine Webb
“I’m all or nothing. I’m either having fresh vegetables, or I’m eating fried fish.”

“No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.”
― Lewis Carroll
“I think the best advice I ever got about acting was from my dad, which was, ‘If they don’t buy the fish on the first toss, throw it back in the wagon and go to the second house.’ Which is like an old Jewish fishmongers’ story about how you become a successful fish monger.”
― Lin Shaye
“I eat fish and love bacon. Plus, I don’t mind if soups are made with chicken or beef stock, I just don’t like eating big pieces of meat.”
― Lisa Loeb
“Seventy percent of the fish we eat is black market, fished in violation of international laws. Our ignorance makes us unwilling partners in crime. Rogue economics is turning the global market into our worst nightmare.”
― Loretta Napoleoni
“The reason that fish form schools, birds form flocks, and bees form swarms is that they are smarter together than they would be apart. They don’t take a vote; they don’t take a poll: they form a system. They are all interactive and make a decision together in real time.”
― Louis B. Rosenberg

“Smell was our first sense. It is even possible that being able to smell was the stimulus that took a primitive fish and turned a small lump of olfactory tissue on its nerve cord into a brain. We think because we smelled.”
― Lyall Watson
“The limits of sensory evolution in fish are defined very largely by their habitat. Water is physically supportive, carries some kinds of odour well, and is kind to sound – letting it travel several times faster than air will allow, but it inhibits other more personal kinds of communication.”
― Lyall Watson
“When people are poor, they find ways of making things taste like fish.”
― Ma Jian
“My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.”
― Magic Johnson
“Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.”
― Malcolm Muggeridge

“I love using rice as a flour; I’ll grind roasted rice and dip fish in that. It gives a beautiful, crunchy texture.”
― Marcus Samuelsson
“How curious that such an outsize man, in physique as well as personality, should be remembered today mainly for giving his name to a small fish. For the 19th century, Bismarck was no herring but a leviathan. Between 1862 and 1890, he created Germany, seeing off first the Austrian empire and then France.”
― Margaret MacMillan
“Fresh seafood reminds me of Hawaii and eating raw ahi fish on the beach with a little soy sauce – instant sashimi.”
― Marie Helvin
“The free market is at its best when everybody works in a fish bowl and tells you their point of view… The hedge funds and portfolio managers have a right to do this… We’ve muted the analysts and their presence in the system.”
― Mario Gabelli
“That’s what 90 percent of the people talk about when they’re first exposed to the fish.”
― Mario Lopez
“Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organic when its feed has nothing to do with its natural diet, even if the feed itself is supposedly organic, and the fish themselves are packed tightly in pens, swimming in their own filth?”
― Mark Bittman
“China is responsible for a lot of the major conservation issues we’re facing. It’s the main market for rhino horn. Tigers are being killed for tiger bone wine. They’re driving the tropical timber trade and illegal logging in Indonesia, and the trade in tropical reef fish.”
― Mark Carwardine
“Cheap fish has usually been caught in careless ways.”
― Mark Kurlansky
“The Pilgrims were unified by their religious zeal, but they couldn’t fish, they didn’t know how to hunt, and they were bad at farming. In fact, they never had a good harvest until they learned to fish cod and plow the waste in the ground as fertilizer.”
― Mark Kurlansky
“Fishing in sustainable ways means fewer fish, higher quality, better price at the market. That is a formula that is good for the environment and the fisherman but bad for the consumer.”

“Right after I graduated high school, I joined a sushi restaurant to learn how to make Japanese food. And then spent seven years. Then that time – that’s enough. Then sushi restaurant – butchering fish and they make your body smell like fishy.”

“I like fish, and I also like bear’s paws. If I cannot have the two together, I will let the fish go, and take the bear’s paws. So, I like life, and I also like righteousness. If I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go, and choose righteousness.”
― Mencius

― Michael Beasley
“I never read any fairy tales or classics until I was an adult; all we ever had was comics… No television, either. If we wanted entertainment, we hung around the fish shop.”
― Michael Foreman
“The common fisheries policy essentially gave other European Union nations unfettered access to our fish stocks and – I would hope – that if we leave the European Union, we can once more see the ports of Peterborough and Fraserhead and Grimsby flourishing, because we will take back control of our territorial waters.”
― Michael Gove
“One of the worst things you can do if you’re worried about breast cancer is to cook beef, pork, fish or poultry at a high temperature – which includes frying, grilling and roasting.”
― Michael Greger
“Eating a varied plant-based diet – and avoiding all meat, fish, chicken and dairy products – may have much to recommend it, but it’s certainly not for everyone.”
― Michael Greger
“I turn over a lot of money for a lot of people and I’m the smallest fish in it.”

“The rich and famous expect to get a lot for their story, whether they are writing it themselves or not. It’s not that they need the money, of course; it’s a question of ego, like catching the biggest fish.”

― Michael Sandel
“I grill all the time – burgers, ribs, chicken, steak, and fish.”
― Michael Strahan
“We found letters at the house we bought from a sailor to his wife who lived in the house. He went down to the Caribbean on this trader vessel, bringing down salted fish. There would be handwritten letters, but also telegrams, saying which ports he was in. And he’d be gone for three months. That was just the way it is.”
― Michael Winter
“I grew up in Mobile, Alabama – somebody’s got to be from Mobile, right? – and Mobile sits at the confluence of five rivers, forming this beautiful delta. And the delta has alligators crawling in and out of rivers filled with fish and cypress trees dripping with snakes, birds of every flavor.”
― Mike deGruy
“Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it’s just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who’s so creative on the drums, and lately it’s been really good, especially during sound checks.”
― Mike Gordon
“Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn’t mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it’s nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn’t ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said.”
― Mike Gordon
“I like to be sort of grounded with Fish. But, at the same time, I think probably what’s unique about us is the way other dynamics happen, where I’ll play off Trey for awhile. When we start playing a jam, I don’t usually know what’s going to happen, I don’t have a plan.”
― Mike Gordon
“Our fish, our recreation, our irrigation and all our uses of the Missouri River are threatened if the drought continues and the Corps of Engineers decisions aren’t changed.”

“The first book I ever bought for myself was ‘One Fish Two Fish’ by Dr. Seuss. My favourite page shows two children carrying an enormous glass jar up some stairs in the dark. In the jar is a tusked beflippered creature floating in brine.”
― Mini Grey
“You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.”
― Mitch Hedberg
“I left Sudan when I was 25 or 26 years old. If I had stayed, I would never have ended up being an entrepreneur. You can have the qualities, but if you don’t have the environment, you just wither away. It’s like a fish: take it out of water, it will not survive.”
― Mo Ibrahim
“The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target.”

― Molly Ivins
“Fish oil is a great protein for your hair.”

― Monica Bellucci
“I take apart restaurant menus everywhere I go. I kind of tick off a lot of chefs in restaurants because I’ll say, ‘You can keep all of the sauce, keep all of that garbage – just give me that piece of fish. Forget the salad dressing, I don’t need all of that extra stuff. Just give it to me straight up, and I’ll eat it.’”
― Montel Williams
“My wife wants me to eat fish; she says it is delicious. But I don’t like fish, so that is that.”

“Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues.”
― Muddy Waters
“Chicken fat, beef fat, fish fat, fried foods – these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat.”

“Have you ever been to Mexico City and haggled with the locals over souvenirs? Well, in Peru, you had to negotiate like that to get the freshest fish at the market.”
― Nobu Matsuhisa
“Large fish such as tuna are shown already cut into fillets and bought by the block. Fillets should be almost transparent. Avoid tuna that looks rainbow-colored or black.”
― Nobu Matsuhisa
“Of course the Japanese and Peruvian fish are different, but it’s the same Pacific Ocean. They are different, but I know fish.”
― Nobu Matsuhisa
“Dashi remains unfamiliar to most French and American cooks, who tend to reach for a bouillon cube to do many of the same things. But dashi is worth preparing and using the way the Japanese do: for poaching fish, as a soup base, and in simmered dishes.”
― Nobu Matsuhisa
“With sushi, it is all about balance. Sometimes they cut the fish too thick, sometimes too thin. Often the rice is overcooked or undercooked. Not enough rice vinegar or too much.”
― Nobu Matsuhisa
“Overtime, hatchery fish tend to show signs of domestication and these traits adapted to the hatchery environment can make it more difficult to survive in the wild.”
― Norm Dicks

― P. J. O’Rourke
“I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn’t have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.”

“I didn’t have boyfriends until my late teens. I was at a girls’ boarding school, and my stepfather disapproved of me going out with anybody. I never really came across any boys. When I did, one of them asked me out, and I was petrified. I felt like a fish out of water, and it was excruciating.”
― Pattie Boyd
“Vice is Washington’s signature. A fish rots from the head, and Washington has led our country into vice, greed, selfishness, and the mockery and destruction of human life.”
― Paul Craig Roberts
“Like most of Italy, Neapolitans like their food, and there are restaurants everywhere. But to make like a true Neapolitan, grab a pizza from a street vendor and eat it there and then. We tried a pizza that’s folded over four times to make it nice and portable, then you eat it straight out of paper, like fish and chips.”
― Paul Hollywood
“I’m a science guy. I’m a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I’d be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.”
― Paul Walker
“The shark is the apex predator in the sea. Sharks have molded evolution for 450 million years. All fish species that are prey to the sharks have had their behavior, their speed, their camouflage, their defense mechanisms molded by the shark.”
― Paul Watson
“If we wipe out the fish, the oceans are going to die. If the oceans die, we die. We can’t live on this planet with a dead ocean.”
― Paul Watson
“Taiwan gives a lot of foreign aid to Costa Rica, so it looks like they are basically buying the right to fish, even though it’s not legal.”
― Paul Watson
“I don’t eat fish because there is no such thing as sustainable fishing in the world right now.”
― Paul Watson
“Bluefin tuna is sort of like the cheetah of the ocean. It’s the fastest fish. It’s a warm-blooded fish. But it’s got a $100,000 price tag on its head.”
― Paul Watson
“The biggest predator of fish like cod is other fish – and seals keep fish like that in check.”
― Paul Watson
“Nobody can legitimately claim to be a marine ecologist and conservationist while continuing to eat fish. It is the ultimate form of hypocrisy.”
― Paul Watson
“Every fish in the ocean is in danger.”
― Paul Watson
“The Polynesians used to have a system where they proclaimed a fishing area as ‘taboo.’ If any fisherman was caught fishing in a taboo area, they would be killed. The Polynesians understand that the fish had to be given a chance to recover.”

“A fish is more valuable swimming in the sea maintaining the integrity of oceanic eco-systems than it is on anyone’s plate.”
― Paul Watson
“Domestic house cats kill more fish than all the world’s seals put together.”

“I may be only a fish and chip shop lady, but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world. I would not even let one of them handle my grocery shopping.”

― Penny Lancaster
“I love to fish almost more than anything.”
― Peter Heller
“Don’t bottom fish.”
― Peter Lynch
“When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours.”
― Peter Singer
“There is no humane slaughter requirement for wild fish caught and killed at sea, nor, in most places, for farmed fish.”
― Peter Singer
“We need to learn how to capture and kill wild fish humanely – or, if that is not possible, to find less cruel and more sustainable alternatives to eating them.”
― Peter Singer
“I picked ducks in a tub in my dorm room. I’d hang deer in the doorway between the bedroom and the little living room in our little apartment there, and I’d skin my deer, and all the guts would go in the tub, and I’d sneak them out so my fellow students on both sides wouldn’t see all that, you know. I’d clean fish up there and all.”
― Phil Robertson
“I dreamed: I am the fish whose flesh is eaten, and because I am fat, it is good.”
― Philip K. Dick
“Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet – the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!”
― Rachael Ray
“I think if I’d been born ten years earlier when Ma was at the height of ‘Avengers’ fame, it would have been a different kettle of fish altogether, but she was very much a ma first and an actress second for my formative years.”
― Rachael Stirling
“Orange juice from concentrate is labeled. Food coloring Red #5 is labeled. Fish are labeled as to whether they’ve been previously frozen. To a consumer, there’s no plausible reason why these factors should be on a food ingredient label while the presence of GMOs shouldn’t be.”
― Ramez Naam
“Wild fish are under threat of extinction because they’re hunted to feed us. Yet land animals that we farm are under no threat of extinction. Shifting from hunting fish to farming fish – where the farmers have the incentive to keep their stocks healthy – could do a tremendous amount of good for wild fish.”
― Ramez Naam
“I think if you’re a painter, you paint; if you’re a golfer, you golf; if you’re a fisherman, you fish; if you’re a musician, you play music.”

“I make smart food choices. I love food, especially fish, chicken, and beef.”
― Regina King
“In my home I tend to eat a very simple version of what we cook at the restaurant, which is vegetable-oriented, with a little bit of fish and very little meat. For instance, a dish in my home could be steamed spinach with spruce, where I take a spruce branch and put it in the pot and that infuses into the spinach.”
― Rene Redzepi
“From birth to death, anyone can fish. I just think it’s fantastic to see old people going fishing with young people and teaching them things. I’m very, very critical.”
― Rex Hunt
“So, when I say ‘match the hatch’, if the fish are taking the nymph, and you’re actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you’ll catch fresh air.”

“I’m not as conscious as I should be about my diet and eating a healthy balance of fruit and vegetables because I do so much exercise. However, I love good grilled fish and Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern salads.”
― Robert Rinder
“Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can’t curb their enthusiasm when they’re in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up a shark. These natural objects in motion and context make kids want to read; you can’t stop them from reading and thinking.”
― Robert T. Bakker
“The big fish run the show. I’m a middle fish, but there are small fish that are poisonous.”
― Roberto Cavalli
“Whether it’s ‘Fish’ or ‘Annabel Scheme’ or ‘The Truth About the East Wind,’ I often find myself crafting custom containers to hold the kind of content I want to create.”
― Robin Sloan
“I do a lot of cooking; we eat a lot of fish, but I try not to make fattening things.”
― Roger Moore
“Light doesn’t penetrate beneath the surface of the water, so ocean creatures like whales and dolphins and even 800 species of fish communicate by sound. And a North Atlantic right whale can transmit across hundreds of miles.”

“I like working with fish, so naturally I like seafood.”
― Roy Yamaguchi
“Eating cold tuna fish out of a tin on a porch while two people are in love across a lake – I think that’s desperately lonely.”

“I make a mean tuna fish sandwich.”
― Ryan Gosling
“If I were a man with gills, I would be a fish!”
― Ryan Stiles
“I stopped with the red meat, let go of turkey and chicken, and then I held onto fish. When we finished ‘Wu-Tang Forever,’ I felt like I evolved and completely dived into veganism.”

“Every unwanted animal ends up on my farm: alpacas and horses and dogs and cats and chickens and ducks and parrots and fish and guinea pigs.”

“I was a typical farm boy. I liked the farm. I enjoyed the things that you do on a farm, go down to the drainage ditch and fish, and look at the crawfish and pick a little cotton.”
― Sam Donaldson
“Our priorities are out of whack. We spend too much to protect birds and fish at the expense of people.”
― Sam Graves
“The humped bladderwort has yellow, snapdragon-like flowers, and it’s actually carnivorous, capable of trapping and eating not just insects but even tadpoles and tiny fish.”
― Sam Kean
“I grew up in the Southwest of the U.K., on the coast in Cornwall. I used to keep a marine fish tank outside the house, where we would go down to the tide pools and catch fish and crabs. I think I caught a cuttlefish once.”

“The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.”

― Scooter Braun
“I used to be an open-spear fisherman, and if you’re looking for fish, you’re never going to see them. In an almost meditative state, you have to pick out anomalies, something out of the ordinary.”

“If you allow for a purely capitalistic society, without any type of regulation at all, you will get one monopoly that will eat all of the smaller fish and own everything, and then you’ll have zero capitalism, zero competition – it would just be one giant company.”
― Serj Tankian
“Most of the things at the zoo don’t look like us. We’re one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that’s a different take on the same basic design. But fish don’t look like us, and giraffes don’t. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don’t look like us, and they work just fine.”
― Seth Shostak
“Colombia is not how people think it is. We used to eat fish every Sunday at the beach. In the town where I grew up, people did not tell lies.”

“Working with Tracy Morgan on ’30 Rock’ is really great. I love Tracy. He’s wonderful. Well, until his fish tank caught fire – his apartment burned up and flooded my apartment. We live in the same building, but I’m eight floors below him and we had to evacuate.”
― Sherri Shepherd
“I think broccoli is one of the must-have foods, as it contains multi nutrients and is high in vitamin C. Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, and fish, too, is healthy. There is nothing that I have on a daily basis, as it becomes monotonous.”
― Shraddha Kapoor
“It was the Sephardi Jews who brought fish and chips to Britain, actually, believe it or not, from the Mediterranean world. Apart from actually eating and selling fish and chips, they were kind of debt enforcers.”

“I usually eat six times a day, small meals. For breakfast, an egg and a corn tortilla, salsa and cilantro, and some ham. For snacks, I’ll have an apple, some string cheese, a yogurt. For lunch I’ll have salad with protein in it and for dinner usually steamed vegetables and chicken or fish.”
― Sprague Grayden

“Instead of giving people fish, teach them how to use hooks.”
― Stef Wertheimer
“My poems always begin with a metaphor, but my way into the metaphor may be a word, an image, even a sound. And I rarely know the nature of the metaphor when I begin to write, but there is an attentiveness that a writer develops, a sudden alertness that is much like the feel of a fish brushing against a hook.”
― Stephen Dobyns
“Fish and Wildlife has a significant amount of federal funds for land acquisition, yet it is skimping on management of the lands it already possesses and shortchanging local tax bases.”
― Stephen Fincher
“I wanted to create a small town underwater where the characters were more like us than like fish. They have fire. They take walks. They drive. They have pets and holidays.”

“It is to be observed that ‘angling’ is the name given to fishing by people who can’t fish.”

“My oldest son always wants to race. He’s kind of like me and it now has carried over to the other two. They’re all pretty competitive now. We do stuff in the pool. They’re like fish in water. They go all over the place. They’re kids. They like to play, have fun and compete with everything they do.”
― Steve Blake
“The food replacement category is what it sounds like – companies are substituting plants or food grown in a lab to replace meat, fish, eggs, milk – or, like Soylent, to package nutritionally complete meals into a drink.”
― Steve Blank
“I like to fish. I’m an outdoorsman. I love to hunt and fish.”
― Steve Zahn
“I’ll try anything, but the pig testicles in Taiwan were a little much. Eh, it wasn’t half bad. There was this one dish I had there, the translation is, ‘The Monk Jumps over the Fence.’ It’s a fish dish with all these spices. It was beautiful, man – it was poetry. It had a whole story.”
― Steven Adams
“Human evolution, at first, seems extraordinary. How could the process that gave rise to slugs and oak trees and fish produce a creature that can fly to the moon and invent the Internet and cross the ocean in boats?”
― Steven Pinker
“Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.”

“We are the poorest and weakest state in the world, occupying the lowest position in international affairs; the rest of mankind is the carving knife and the serving dish, while we are the fish and the meat.”
― Sun Yat-sen
“You can hover in the air if you want, or you can push off of something and glide through the air – just like a fish. I also think it is like being a fish, since you can catch food in your mouth easily because it is suspended in the air – just like when you put fish food in a tank – the fish swim up to it, open their mouths, and eat the food.”
― Sunita Williams
“On its 2015 list, the Fish and Wildlife Service included the ‘ea, or hawksbill turtle, as well as the green turtle, Ridley sea turtle, leatherback turtle and loggerhead turtle.

“Beef should be organic and grass-fed; fish should be wild, not farm raised.”
― Suzanne Somers
“A simple rule of thumb is to shop the periphery of the grocery store – that’s where you’ll find meat, fish, dairy, and vegetables. Choose high-quality protein such as healthy, grass-fed beef and lamb and organic chicken and pork, and eat them in moderation.”
― Suzanne Somers
“Octopus can fish for prey while deciding what color and pattern to turn, what shape to make their bodies, be on alert for predators and aware how far away their dens are.”
― Sy Montgomery
“When I’m doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it’s tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That’s it. For dinner it’s either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.”
― Sylvester Stallone
“People still do not understand that a live fish is more valuable than a dead one, and that destructive fishing techniques are taking a wrecking ball to biodiversity.”
― Sylvia Earle
“Every fish fertilizes the water in a way that generates the plankton that ultimately leads back into the food chain, but also yields oxygen, grabs carbon – it’s a part of what makes the ocean function and what makes the planet function.”
― Sylvia Earle
“I want everybody to go jump in the ocean to see for themselves how beautiful it is, how important it is to get acquainted with fish swimming in the ocean, rather than just swimming with lemon slices and butter.”
― Sylvia Earle
“I would love to slip into the skin of a fish and know what it’s like to be one. They have senses that I can only dream about. They have a lateral line down their whole body that senses motion, but maybe it does more than that.”

― Sylvie Guillem
“When I directed my first short – ‘American Virgin’ – I had no idea if I could actually do it. Like, I might just get onto set, have everyone look at me and just completely freeze and have no idea what to do. But pretty much the opposite of that happened. I was like a fish diving into the sea.”
― Tamzin Merchant
“I just like to catch fish, I don’t care if it weighs half a pound or 10 pounds. But I can’t do a lot of casting. I can work a jig or a worm. But not for long, especially if the big ones are biting. Those big bass will make it hurt after a while.”
