wonder how may we'd see if the viz was good!
It is indeed strange how tastes differ, even from one side of a narrow state to another. I grew up in St. Petersburg, on the West Coast of Florida, so I think smoked mullet is a delicacy. In fact, when a lot of us who live in other parts of the country now went back for a 40th high school reunion, we made a special effort to go eat smoked mullet. But when I lived in Texas and in North Carolina, I'd cast net them and smoke them myself, but the locals thought they were nothing but bait.
But an even stranger example deals with king mackerel. My father was a fishing guide, and he told his customers up front that he would clean more than enough for them to take home and eat, but that the rest of the catch was his to sell at the market. Otherwise, he would be charging more for the charter. Of course some customers would always "forget" that they had been told that and want to take away 600 pounds of fish.
But when I was stationed on the other side of the Gulf near Corpus Christi, Texas, I found that there were lots of charter boats taking customers out to catch king mackerel, but they had signs on the dock that said "The customer is responsible for removal and disposal of his own fish."
Apparently there was no market for them, and few even wanted to eat them. When my father came to visit, I made a point of showing him those signs, and he almost fell off the dock.
Hell...if you like Mullets, come over here....millions of them.......cdavis said:Peoples tastes can be very different, but sometimes it is the fish. For example, mullet in Louisiana is often muddy, musty tasting. Very Bad. Water quality there is dominated by the Mississippi River. In the Florida Panhandle, not much more than 100 miles away, but with no big rivers, fresh mullet is outstanding, one of my favorite fish. It gets fishy real fast, but first day is wonderful. Smoked is even better.

Seriously though, I use a size 5 (L) in our suits which has a height limit of 5'11"-6'1" or so and I'm 6'4". Next year Omer is coming out with the 3MLong,4ML Long,5LLongs so then my problem should be fixed since the XL is too big for me as I'm a bit skinny at 195lbs for my height.
So I know what you're going to say next Memo, get a custom Polo Suit like yours, DREAM ON!!! I'm an Omer man from head to toe (except for the little gap between the wetsuit and the booties!
