My brother invited my husband to go to the stream, where someone was pumping water for their rice field. He also planned to use an electric device in the water to catch fish.
I also can't go there because I have a toddler and I'm preggy, my son gets extremely restless and hard to handle whenever we're at the creek. He might even head straight into the water if he sees his dad there, lol. Plus, he really want to play the water.
So we stayed at my SIL house and just waited for them there. Look at my son, he's walking all around their place. He really enjoys watching the turkeys, chickens, and ducks here, haha. Even though we didn't end up going to the creek, I'm still exhausted from keeping an eye on him and walking around with him.
When they returned carrying fish and janitor fish, it was the janitor fish that really caught my attention, I was surprised to see them bringing those, and they were quite large, too.
I asked what was to be done with it, and my hubby explained that it came from of their companions at the creek, the one who always drink alcoholic drink almost every night. He sent it over and plans to stop by my SIL house to pick it up, because they were going to grill it.
I was so surprised to learn that janitor fish are actually eaten, I only ever thought they were kept in aquariums to eat waste and help clean the water lol.
My son really enjoys watching the janitor fish in the water, when I picked one up to take a picture, he even held onto my hand to keep me from moving it away, haha. But at the same time, he's also afraid to touch it himself.
I was very curious about whether janitor fish are actually edible, so I asked Google Lens. It turns out they can be eaten, provided they caught in a clean stream or a farm free from pollutants and piles of trash. They are often prepared by grilling or cooking them in coconut milk with plenty of chili.
It's a good thing I checked on Google lens, it eased my worry that maybe this wasn't something meant to be eaten, haha.
Do you have janitor fish in your area, and do you eat them? What do they taste like? Feel free to share in the comments.
Personally, I really don't want to eat them, haha!
That's all for today, I just want to say Thank you for your unwavering support I really appreciate it. 🫶🏻
