Joke's on you, we're into that:

Hongeo-hoe is a type of fermented fish dish from Korea's Jeolla province. Hongeo-hoe is made from skate and emits a very strong, characteristic ammonia-like odor

Skates (hongeo) are cartilaginous fish that excrete uric acid through the skin, rather than by urinating as other animals do. As they ferment, ammonia is produced, which helps preserve the flesh and gives the fish its distinctive, powerful odor.

I know that some sharks and rays had a more or less strong pee taste. I personally dislike it. Skate is the only dish that I would classify as dog food grade. The line between tasty and nasty is very thin in those fishes and requires a skilled chef.

But I'm perfectly fine with the idea of some people loving the pee taste, or eating rotten shark meat, or urinating in other people's mouths while eating carp croquettes. As long as those people is not me, good for them. I'll pass. Thank you.

Feel free to eat this new discovered octopus before any other human and tell us about your experience. My bet is that will be memorable for all the wrong reasons

In any case, skate meat should be forbidden by conservation issues. Their populations are very fragile and on a sharp decline, and to eat this animals is very irresponsible.

I just wanted to say I thoroughly appreciate your contribution to this thread. Equal parts intellectually interesting and belly-laugh worthy

Wait, that can't be right, you must be talking about some particular species, they're everywhere in Briti-- oh. Common Skate is critically endangered.

It's also about £8.50 for 500g.

ffs. We are, collectively, utter morons aren't we?
