    • Get some catfish and some cornflour and an egg. Cut the catfish into nuggets. Dip in the egg wash. Roll lightly in the cornflour and salt/pepper mixture. Fill a pan with oil. Deep fry. Yum!
    • Get some mahi mahi. Place on some tin foil. Add a pat of butter on top of each. Grill it up until flaky but not dried out. Salt to taste. mahi is so mild, like no fish flavor. Delish!
    • Get a tuna steak. Soak it in a bit of ponzu sauce. Get an iron skillet nice and hot with a little splash of oil. Toast some sesame seeds on it. Put those to the side. Then get your tuna and sear it on all sides. Add a dash of salt (if you want, the ponzu may be salty enough) and the seeds. Enjoy.
    • if you like spicy, get a good blackened seasoning, it can help mask the fish flavor
    • also, try sushi, but like from a good place. Rolls will hide the taste much better than sashimi, which is meant to showcase the fish. Fresh sushi (yellowtail, salmon, tuna, mackerel) has almost no fish taste. Eel has a steak like taste, but can be a bit fishy. Do not go for urchin, it’s like a straight up fish umami bomb.

    1. When you’re chasing your next meal, you don’t have time to complain. Western society enables us to shift our priorities to higher levels on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
    2. Feelings project differently in different cultures. For example, Spanish speaking people often align depression with physical exhaustion.
    3. You many not know the people well enough to know their most intimate thoughts and intentions. Complaining in autocratic societies could be considered dissent and get you killed.
    4. Similar to 3, they may be treating you as a D-list celebrity or a tourist because they have something to gain from doing so. Refer to point 1.
    5. Consider the audience. Who are the kind of people who have frequent access to Internet in these countries and would want to talk to Western citizens?
