FISH & FISHING

ย
ย
Do you like fishing? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Yes, I do and itโs my first love (the first or main thing that one enjoys). Fishing has become my favorite pastime (hobby) since I was little because our house was situated near a lake. I remember every summertime, my dad and I spent much time fishing on his tiny boat at the nearest lake and we usually caught plenty of freshwater fish. I have wonderful memories of fishing with my father โ well, these days, in spite of my hectic schedule, I still find time (to make some of your time available to do something) to go fishing.ย ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Not at all, honestly, I tried it once but it wasnโt as enjoyable as I thought. Perhaps because Iโm impatient or maybe itโs not my cup of tea (something that someone dislikes). But anyway, I find pleasure in eating raw fish โ the taste and smell are delectably inexplicable (unable to be explained; incomprehensible).ย ย
ย
ย
ย
Is fishing a good hobby? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Indeed, as I said, itโs my first love. I think itโs one of the best hobbies a person can have. I find fishing helpful to relieve (alleviate)ย my work-related stress and it helps me feel a sense of fulfillment (the feeling of satisfaction), most especially when I catch some of my favorite fish like tuna, trout, and cod. My dayโs complete once I get one of those. ย ย
ย
(Answer 2)
ย
Well, that depends. Those who are fanatics about fishing would surely say itโs the best hobby in the world, but people like me who find it boring would surely never consider it a good one. So itโs just a matter of personal preference (personal choice).ย ย
ย
(Answer 3) ย
ย
To be honest with you, Iโve never tried fishing so I donโt have any idea whether or not fishing is fun. But I guess, thatโs not difficult to love, especially if one is an outdoor type of person. I think thatโs exciting but it surely tries oneโs patience. Iโll add that to my bucket list (a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to achieve during their lifetime).ย ย
ย
ย
ย
Do you like eating fish? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Without a doubt (indisputably)! Fish is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Itโs loaded with essential nutrients like protein and Vitamin D. Not to mention, itโs a good source of omega-3 fatty acids which are crucial (of great importance) for optimal (best or the most favorable) body and brain function. Actually, I prefer eating fish over meat.ย ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Iโm not a big fan (not interested) of eating fish. I hate the smell of it and I feel uncomfortable with its texture when I start swallowing and chewing it. I feel like I eat some cotton when I eat fish. Well, I donโt know, maybe Iโm just too fussy (finicky; picky).ย ย
ย
ย
ย
What kinds of fish do you like eating? ย
ย
I can eat any kind of fish but my favorites include mackerel, tuna, trout, and salmon. I know they cost an arm and a leg (be extremely expensive) but theyโre extremely healthy. Well, I wouldnโt compromise (harm or damage) my health by eating more meat just because itโs cheaper than fish.ย ย
