Not a lot of my friends know this, but I’m not a big fan of sea animals. Sure I like eating fish better than pork or chicken, but that doesn’t mean I like swimming around them sharks and dolphins (even if their teeth have been pulled out for my safety). Now because of this little fear that I share with a lot of people, the larger-than-life-aquariums have been invented. So now I can walk my way through big, slimy fishes inside enormous tanks without getting a heart attack. And walk through is what we did on our Spring Break visit to the Moody Gardens in Galveston.
Amazingly, the only fish that caught our attention is this catfish which is thrice as big as a real cat. The catfish is real ugly, with its whiskers swaying like weeds in the water. Worst of all, that’s a fish Joe would never eat. Okay. Even though I said I didn’t like sea animals floating around me, the catfish won my sympathy this time. I ate one at Papadeaux, and it tasted fine.
