    JJ- It IS great information. I've only had Orange Roughy a few times in my life, but when I read that they don't mature sexually for 20-years, it made me heartsick.
    It is completely immoral to use a slow-growing resource like that as a commercial food product.

    I love grouper and red snapper. Also a fish named 'sheephead'

    Thanks for this info!

    Judy - I had to go check-out Sheephead fish on wikipedia. According to the Wiki, it's a particularly sweet and tasty fish because of its crustacean diet. It sounds delicious, but it's a southern fish, so I'll have to wait until I visit Florida. :)
