Cermele: Woman Fries And Eats Pet Goldfish After Fight With Ex-Husband
By Joe Cermele
I know this is a little off-topic for the blog, but it's too good. I had to share it. While looking at a few news sites this morning, I stumbled across this headline: "Woman Fries And Eats Pet Goldfish After Fight With Ex-Husband." Here's the story.

From the New York Daily News:
PASADENA, Tex. - Authorities say a Houston-area woman who was burned up at her former common-law husband fried their pet goldfish and ate some of them...
Pasadena police say it's a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The seven goldfish were purchased together by the couple during happier times...
Police spokesman Vance Mitchell says the man reported on Saturday that the woman took the goldfish from his apartment...
Officers who were dispatched to the woman's home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate. The woman said she already ate the other three.
This leaves a few questions unanswered: How does one prepare a goldfish? Fried whole like a shrimp? Filleted? Cajun seasoning or Panko batter? Did she enjoy the goldfish or choke them down, gagging the whole time, but suffering for the sake of revenge?
I ask these things because we fishermen are often left with unused shiners and fatheads at the end of the day. They're not cheap and I usually dump them. Maybe I'm missing out on something. -- JC

here fishy fishy
I hope he doesn't own a dog.....for the dog's sake!
Goldfish, as overindulging college students know, are meant to be eaten straight up. Or is that straight down? Pinch tail, tilt back head, drop, and swallow whole. Beer chaser.
Shame on you Cermele. Dumping bait is how nasty invasives are spread.
That's golden. Pun intended.
Whole, tempura battered, little cocktail sauce.
It would take to many to make a meal. That was dumb!
Good point WAH, although when I buy live bait, 99% of the time, it's netted in the same river -- or most of the time--from the bay I'm fishing.
Let this be a lesson to anyone one here considering getting married. Buy poison puffer fish.
Ya hear me JC.
Ah Buck...still laughing
Thats a wierd meal, I mean what wuld you tell your co-worker who asks you what did you eat for dinner last night.
buckhunter, LMAO, shame on you and a big plus 1. I should have thought of that before I married my first wife. My current wife is a keeper--she can have the goldfish.
buckhunter - that is hilarious. Definitely beware of
female sushi chefs. They know which Fugu parts are poisonous, and also know how to use their knives.
O the humanity.
that's what's nice about fishing with smelt, once your done fishing you can just fry them up and not waste any
Still waiting for the animal rights kooks to weigh in on this. Are they launching an investigation? Protesting in front of her house? Maybe they'll leave idahooutdoors alone for a while so they can vilify the goldfish killer.
No...That is just wrong!
This lady really has problems
Good thing they did not have kids! The classic get even with the spouse by taking it out on the innocent third party scenario.
I just hope she was too mad to remeber to clean them...
Officer: "Ma'am, you have a little something stuck between your teeth...are those fish guts!?"
Y'know what grosser than eating live goldfish? Throwing them back up. I speak from experience
I think you'd fry them and eat them whole, with a little lemon, like shishamo or whitebait.
I know a guy whose exwife cooked his dog and fed it to him.
Squirrelgirl, I need to hear that story.
squirrelgirl,
My ex-wife used to do that a lot and that's one of the reason why we are not together and also here infidelity which she is not good to hide at all...I have a wonderful wife now, she hunts, fish, camp and love the outdoors, the ex-wife hates it!!!
Taste Like Salmon?
Think about it, the woman fried the goldfish and ate them. What would she have done had she the right implements and a drunken commonlaw husband? now there's some food for thought!!
can't understand normal thinking
Heck, goldfish are just a fancy subspecies of carp. Lots of people eat carp. I think in Poland they eat it on holidays and Chinese serve it up on New Years Day for luck, But REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD (perhaps with a little tartar sauce)
Soooo...she ate the goldfish, what is this really saying about the ex-husband????
Dammit!!! where is Jasmine TC when you need her?
Awesome story! I cant believe animal rights arent all over this one
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Way too classic
I don't know what Goldfish taste like or how to cook one. I don't CARE about those things, either. What I DO know is that recent Ontario, Canada law states that it is now ILLEGAL to dump unused baitfish in the water, even if they were caught in the same waterbody that they are intended for release. You must dump them on shore, far enough away from the water that they cannot flop their way back to the water. The main reason for that is to reduce the spread of native and non-native species. There are FAR too many lakes in northern Ontario that were once full of trophy Brook Trout, that now hold stunted Yellow Perch. Many that have Rock Bass that never had them before, smelts, Northern Pike, etc. There is also the threat of spreading non-native species like zebra mussels, gobies, etc.
Please dump your bait bucket on land for the gulls and ravens to scavenge, rather than destroy a wonderful fishing spot.
Well, that's just about THE dumbest thing I ever heard...goldfish are s'posed to be rolled in pepper and nuked in the microwave!
yea thats how to make him made eat his gold fish. i wonder if she ate more of her ex's animals before.
How is eating the goldfish revenge???
Why did he call the cops???
WHY AM I ASKING QUESTIONS, THIS IS HILARIOUS?!?!?!
Are we missing part of the story here? Did he eat something that made her really mad??
Hey, Reefmonkey, what kind of dog was it?
My cat ate my gold fish call the animal control to arrest my cat.
Would they taste like sardines? I agree this could be the best answer to left over bait!
LOL buckhunter has the right idea.... I love it
It would have been easier to toss them into a gumbo.
What do you have for a side dish?
jreed54-his hamster would complement nicely!
I don't think i have ever laughed so hard!!
Could be he did not eat something she wanted him too? ;)
Feeding a man his own dog? Did the beatch live to tell about it? hope not....
ITS ALL GOOD,and yes i have ate fresh dead and living bait and pet fish.i have soom asian friends i would stop by and give them my left over live perch 2-3 inches long.they would fry em whole and nothing was waisted.to bad i never had time to stay and have dinner with them.so myself and a few castin blastin buddys have had many late night campfire snacks of our dead and living baits including leeches crickets worms even fresh cut shad.fried,roasted on a stick baked wrapped in leaves and mud,all staight from a camp fire.wife won't let us do this in her kitchen again.just for safety,we alway cooked our meel completely through.and for me:"ITS ALL GOOD"p.s.:its all in taste buds of the betaister
