I'm having a party and there's a couple of guests I want to freak out, besides I've always wanted to try this... seems rather japanese? I want to have a fishbowl on the tiki bar w/ fairly good looking but edible fish... after the guests have grown accustomed/attached to the little critters towards the end of the evening I want to pop them in my blender and serve myself (any any takers) a fishy bloody mary... to their horror and my omega-3 fatty acid level improvement. So my question is, if anyone knows, which of your pet store fish are edible? I'll wash them thoughouly of course and put them in a very clean bowl, and the alcohol should help to kill of some microbes. My gut's pretty hearty.
Thanks, and give my regards to PETA!

Kahukini,
I think gerbils (shaved) would be funnier.

A friend of mine makes a "real" shrimp cocktail, and it's delicious... that's what gave me the idea. Maybe there is some pet sized fish that tastes delectible with the appropriate amount of vodka spices and zing zang?

Just get regular Gold Fish aka Feeder Fish. We used to swallow them live all the time. The first one is a strange feeling but after you do it, the next 50 or so go down real easy. Helped pay my way through high school! We used to bring bags full of "feeder fish" to parties and all the dorks would bet us to swallow them. We'de leave rich, full and buzzed! Wedding receptions too!

That's why I'm trying to make sure the fish are edible, so I won't get sick

Oh! MY! GOD! Do the swedish fish, please. That's beyond sick and cruel and I can't believe you're serious. Maybe being from Alabama has something to do with it.
Then again, I hear puffer fish is mighty tasty!

Alabama is famous for its live foods, we're very exotic like that.
Actually, it's not that healthy. We're famous for "southern cuisine" - ie, myocardial infarction & type 2 diabetes on a plate.

I have a friend who was in a freak show and they did the whole swallowing house hold products bit, and how they used to find out if a thing was not poisonous was they'd phone up the national poison register and claim their child had swallowed whatever they were wanting to consume, and the helpfull people at the NPR would tell them if it was bad or not.
So if you do phone whayever the american equivilent of the NPR is, can you record the call coz I'd love to hear the convesation..
"Hello American Poison Register how can i help you?".
"Hi this is kahukini, er my kid, he's like swallowed an egyptian mouth breeder and i was wondering if it was poisonous?"

May I propose an alternative method to freak out the guests? Get two fish bowls. One with fish is on the bar, the other just has water and is hidden beneath the bar. Guests all see the live fish. When they are not looking, switch bowls. The live fish will be safe under the bar and the water filled bowl is on the bar. Start the blender and tell everyone you just made a fish drink, they will look at the empty bowl and freak out. This alternative provides the requisite shock value and saves the life of fish. The tiki gods frown on the mistreatment of all animals.

There's a dish they serve in Beijing called 'Minute Mouse'. The restaurant is lined with cages full of breeding mice, and your 'minute mouse' is a newborn mouse served alive in a little dish, along with a brandy.
Makes the goldfish idea almost appealing.

What does a newborn mouse need with a glass of brandy? A toast to long life!
