Such a wonderful read. Thanks for sharing. I too experience the mixed emotions when dispatching a fish. Gratitude is what mostly carries the day, paired with a quick reminder of my commitment to respect the fish by taking care of the catch. That moment is kind of sort of the main way I get that wonderful reminder of my place on this earth and how we're all connected.
Plus ~ yea, factory farming is typically awful for animals and the ecosystems they exist in. The more I can catch/eat wild animals from wild places, the better. I know there's the question of 'how to feed the world' with wild animals which I haven't answered for myself but I'm also a proponent of local food and local supply chains which I think is more philosophically in balance with how nature works. Thanks for the idea of freezing the lobster before dispatching. |

I love your posts. I look at mine, and there's a doofus holding a bloody fish with a couple sentences. You elevate yours to a whole new cerebral level--coupled with the near work of art photography ( I don't know if you will ever top the lizard eating flies)

Good post. Unfortunately I see a sea insect. I feel more for the mackeral I kill for the lobster I really want.
I do use every part of lobster, love the stock and do appreciate the vittles the bugs offer. |

Good post Spencer. Great pics. I can sympathize with the feeling of remorse over killing that lobster. Taking life from any living creature is something that should have an effect on everyone, even if its "just" a lobster or fish.

You actually just reminded me of this interview which is really fascinating and a cool look at diversifying food systems to more local options rather than the commercially optimized ones. https://www.noobspearo.com/valentine...-spearfishing/ |
