and if they are what is the best way of cooking them?

I can't imagine you'd get much meat on a Goldfish

I wouldn't personally want to eat a goldfish

Go out and buy yourself a nice hearty peice of fish OP

My cat thinks they are.

The oversized blighters swimming aorund in my brother in law's garden pond look decidedly manky and i wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

if times get hard, you may need to eat them.
you could eat them raw.

Not the green ones, they are not ripe yet.

I believe the are a member of the carp family. Anyone eaten a carp?

Eastern Europeans eat Carp.... usually at Christmas i believe.

Not me, but that's why they're here. The Romans brought them over for food, and monks bred them in the Middle Ages also for food.

Stillwater fish though I think have to be purged in clean water to make them taste better.

Goldfish are a little bit small, I'd rather have whitebait.

pan fried in butter over a gentle heat, little bit of garlic and shallots, deglaze with white wine, add some cream serve with creamy mash.

I wanda what's going on here?

Correct, they are small carp, effectively. If you put them into a much bigger tank and fed them up a bit, they'd be as edible as trout.

I'm glad this isn't in that new pets forum

she really liked cream too

someone mentioned powdering her but i don't know how to go about that

But I thought you were heartbroken about Wanda? Now you want to eat her?

Ate one for a bet many many years ago. Though that was raw (and hopefully stunned) and I have felt pretty guilty about it ever since.

this is a real fish? I thought it was a hypothetical question.

Well no it wasn't actually a real fish - P. Ness was living up to their user name and being a bit of a d*** by making up a story about their dead fish
