They are still protected around here . . . you will get a fine if you are caught shooting one. I don't know why they are protected, they are certainly not endangered. I grew up on a lake--they are EVERYWHERE. We shot them anyway of course.

I did a google search and found this:
Although humans no longer kill Herring Gulls to satisfy a heavy commercial demand for their feathers, their activities still have negative effects on the birds. In the mid-1960s and early 1970s, Herring Gulls nesting on the Great Lakes were found to be experiencing reproductive failure — although there were lots of nests, there were hardly any chicks to be found. Detailed studies showed that early deaths of embryos and abnormal parental behaviour during incubation were at least partly responsible for the reproductive failure, and scientists suggested that high levels of organochlorine compounds (including polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, DDT-related compounds, and mirex) in both adults and eggs were to blame.
I remember a similar discussion from science class many moons ago. Here's the entire article:
http://www.cws-scf.ec.gc.ca/hww-fap/hww-fap.cfm?ID_species=21&lang=e
The article says they are protected because they are migratory birds and not because they are endangered. I read another article where a town in Wisconsin is now shooting a controlled number of gulls to lower their numbers. Gulls have caused e-coli problems in other areas around Lake Michigan, so I have heard.
Flying rats, dumpster ducks, pretty foul creatures IMHO.
My apologies for side tracking an otherwise tasteful thread.

Yum!!! Fresh Salmon box is my favorite, but being a cajun i eat just about all of it. raw oysters....raw fish its all the same to me. :thumb:
I have to agree that the rainbow roll for a starter is very bold. Be careful I find sushi to be like riding the more you do it the more you want it. :worship:

While eating sashimi at Nick's in Chicago, I mistakenly popped the "large olive" on my plate" into my mouth. I don't know what I was thinking, but the "large olive" turned out to be a big chunk of wasabi diguised as an olive. I had a tablespoon of the stuff in my mouth and was hopping around like my foot was on fire.

Going out for sushi tonight for my birthday. The chef we frequent makes a kick-ass yellowtail roll. Hey FC22, if'n you've heard of an Alaska roll but haven't tried it, TRY IT! Tempura rolls are tasty too. Yup, hibachi steak w/ some sushi for appetizer...I'm like Homer w/ little chocolate donut thingys around that stuff.

CR Swade--go to the Melting Pot, instead. When Fondu came out (again.. :silly: ), I was very negative about it and wondered why anyone would want to sit around and dip food into some Velveeta crap or something, and was blaming the entire thing on another bandwagon, fad society thing that Generation Next or X or whoever brought out of Manhattan.
I was surprised, to say the least. Give it a shot with a really good bottle of extra Dry Champagne and go for it.

I've heard of it, just never got around to trying it.
There is actually a new-to-KC restaraunt called the Kona Grill, and I think we might hit it this weekend. It is my favorite right now-plus they have great Kona joe and fresh macadameia nut pie. They have two other locations in Arizona and it friggin rocks. The sea bass is unbelievable and yes, they serve sushi. I just can't order the sea bass without snickering, thinking of our ol' buddy and his "wine em', dine em', 69 em" hat (yes I'm speaking of Sea Bass himself-kick his ass Sea Bass!!)

I LOVE SUSHI every time we go to the china restruant we order a half pound of sushi and a bunch of that really hot green sauce. We tried every kind of sushi at that restruant. Then we tried makeing our own sushi that was gross yuk. Fake sea weed is the nastyest thing ever, the fish was good though.

Happy birthday!
I will look for those 2 things to try. I can't wait to go again. I'm hungry . . .
There's something wrong with all of this, my friends, besides the "yuck!" factor, and that's parasites, moreover worms - the best chef's eyes can't possibly get all of the foreign eggs and critters out - you're bound to intake some...there's a reason why fire came along.
