Warning: Do Not Eat Escolar
Aug. 10th, 2006 07:59 amI never thought I'd have to research a fish before consuming it, but it seems I should have.
For those that may not know this, Escolar, aka "White Tuna" (it's not a tuna), contains gempylotoxin, a waxy ester that behaves similar to Olestra. You all remember Olestra, yes?
My body is doing something both horribly embarrassing and amazingly humourous. I hope it ends soon. I had a rather big piece of it on Tuesday night.
