Alas Admin hurry up put that Photo of the Day in the “More News” section where we can only see the heading and not have to see that picture when we scrollng down to read those other articles. I have to scroll down fas, fas, fas just so I don’t have to watch them snake-like zorfee.
zoff what
DNO you making joke now. What about this photo is appealing?
ADMIN: So why don’t you send us something that is appealing.
Excellent response DNO.
ewwwww
Please remove this picture as soon as you possibly can.
It is a complete turnoff.
Why are you dictating to DNO? Patience! Some people do not mind. You should know that you are not the only one who has access to DNO’s Website.
Hey nice pic!
Yet I still can’t stop thinking about that douwad and babawoulai (from maclaukin) I had yesterday.
Yes, I know its too early for yams, but hey, when you are in CB you must survive on the land.
And no, I did not take it from by Sang- or by dinne-, Raymond Stone (Ramoustone) always have babawoulai year round. You have to know where to look.
Interesting! The sea has a lot of different color, shape and sizes of fishes. I had not heard the word ‘Zorfee’ for years since I do not reside in DA and had forgotten by it. I cannot remember ever seeing a whole one and never heard they had worms. I am wondering have they always had worms?
This one had to be cleaned extremely well. I remember that much.
I have eaten this fish. Now that I have seen a full picture and hearing it has worms, I will never eat it. When I visit DA I will ensure that I do not eat it. Anything looking like a snake and has worms will turn me off eating them.
As we grow older our tastes change. This will be one of it that I hope I never see or eat.
I will not eat eel and octopus for similar reasons. I do not even want to see them.
I like Jacks, Red fish and others. I recall another one which is called Savon – Soap Fish. It has a soft or shall I say slimy feel.
I am certain that Zorfee is relatively healthy and safe to eat and, for those who do not know it has worms.
Dominicans will eat anything.
You are wrong and insulting. Just as there are edible animals there are also edible fishes and vice versa.
Some things are just not worth eating and this is one of them. Dominica has enough apetizing items on its menu…I would allow this one to stay in the ocean. I will not condemn anyone who partakes of it, however, I will do lamowie(codfish)instead papa.
In bygone years that fish was eaten. No one made a fuss or objected. They were too happy to eat it. The problems today are Internet and computers which expose them. If it were not for those I would never have seen a picture of them and know that there are worms on them. If I had known, I would not mention it on the Internet/Website. Some people let everything out. They do not give it a thought that it may affect others.
Well you need to see a picture of codfish. It is one of the ugliest fishes in the sea. Look it up but, careful if you see it, you may never eat codfish again. In comparison to codfish zofee is beautiful.
disgusting
LMAO. Gasar Emille u not easy. Zorfee????????????
Too many bones and worms. yakkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Throw dat back in d sea gasar. lol.
Get this out of my computer screen please i am asking the person.!
The ugliest picture of the decade.
I recall some months ago, probably a year ago that DNO posted a skin of a snake. I wonder where and how did DNO get it. I do not recall anyone objecting to it. Wrack your memory if you have been consistently accessing DNO for a few years.
Awah wi, potway sa la pas bel pyes!! Worst ‘photo of the day’ I have seen on DNO.
it nice but it not to go to the pot now
Most fresh water fish (and crayfish too) have parasitic worms that can be deadly if they are not properly cooked. Just because you don’t see them does it mean that their eggs are not there.
…And properly seasoned. During a conversation with someone in Toronto about fruits, I was informed that some fruits have worms; many are imported. It appears that we cannot get away from them. Fruits, vegetables, etc. all have some sort of worms/germs. It is imperative that we clean them properly with water. If we have to worry about them we will never eat anything. Mangoes also have worms.
Photo of a dolphin would be much more attractive and appetizing!
It’s ready for the pot but I want no part of it, remove the worms on the sides before cooking. yuk
I was not aware that they had worms. This is the first time I heard of it. Of course, I was never a fisherman. They catch them and clean them before selling them.
It reminds me of a snake yikes, I have no dealings with it.
not only that they have white worms on the side and you need to split the side to let them out.
If I ever saw this long fish and the worms I would never eat the fish. I hate worms.
When I saw the first picture I thought it was a snake. I hate those things. I was turned off and thought I will not access the article. When I read the headline I saw it is a Zorfee.
This fish carries a lot of worms in its flesh. It’s a host to white worms. I have seem them with my own eyes. For this reason, I do not eat this fish. Titiwee is also a host of bacteria and diseases. Any aquatic animal without scales and fins is not fit for human consumption. Take heed, my people.
U call that photo of the day spoil my whole
Day. Stupesssss
Do not make me laugh. I had a good laugh about that.
This time I am not giving the photo a compliment and from the comments.
Setting that aside, do not blame DNO. It is a picture of a fish for those who are interested. Generally, I like eating fish. I ate a lot of fish when I resided in DA. Fish is healthy to eat. It is highly recommended over beef.
For me to eat that fish,I have
to clean it myself,to remove all those tiny long worms which sticks to the flesh and stil, I refuse to eat it
If I have to do that, it would turn me off. Those things upset me. I would never clean, cook and eat it. Some of us have different stamina.
is Zorfee the same as Banggway?
please take the heads off and cut in small pieces i dont like the see the snakey look
Alas I love my fish, but I passing on de zorfee we pal; those little white worms in the flesh, awa.
Grossss
NOT the photo of my day; niether the fish of the day; but i do eat zorfee:
Come Support the Roseau Fish Market Friday November 30, 2012 from 4:00 to enjoy some good variety of fish dishes.
Not my favorite fish – too many bones.
That think looked like snales in a bowl.
You mean snakes. Upsetting, eh? It gives me the ‘creeps’. For your information, the meaning:
1. creeps: A feeling of discomfort (scared or queasy) greater than the willies or the jitters, but less than being freaked out or even grossed out.
that fish too sick……i don’t mind a piece nuh!!!
Pass it so I can make a bouyon.
Right word is Blue fish, But now i want a DOWARDE Head in a broth with the eyes shining in my pot !!
Another one who is making me laugh. You would eat it with its shiny eyes looking at you?
Not me!
Some people do not like to see their heads.
yuk!!!
Woi! That looking like snake wi!
Ewwww is that a snake ?????
dont eat zorfee this fish have some long white worms right in the flesh on the back ,but love the pic
How did this fish happen to have so many worms on its body? They love the fish and feel cozy on it. Are they alive and a feeding on the fish?
OH boy! i looked at this twice, really i took the Zorfee for snakes thank GOD, for all the great things HE gave us.
Yuk .. looks like a snake. Not for me. I shall pass!
LOVE…miss this so much but will be visiting home soon enough
Sa pah mem season
Look a fish I hate to see…looking too much like a snake…but taste good!
