Joe Exotic's Legal Team Is Taking Presidential Pardon Campaign to D.C. This Month - Complex

Tiger King subject and impending Nicolas Cage source material Joe Exotic's legal team will be taking their campaign for a presidential pardon to the Washington D.C.

"Well, hey, greetings from Fort Worth, Texas," Eric Love, the guy leading the charge, said in a statement to TMZ this week that was filmed in front of the notorious pardon-promoting tour bus. "Just letting you know we're leaving out Monday the 18th at 7 a.m. out of Forth Worth, Texas. We are heading to Washington D.C. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, son!"

The report, however, doesn't claim that there's been any official-esque meeting set up between Mr. Exotic's legal team and Trump, who we can only hope has far more important metaphorical Filet-O-Fish in need of frying at the moment.

Earlier this month, Love—a former cop turned private investigator who's now handling all business and legal matters for Mr. Exotic—released a pardon campaign video that was certainly not short on theatrics.

"This will be a case of redemption," Love said in the video, which also featured comments from lead counsel Francisco Hernandez, whose "He is the victim" pull quote made for easy headline material. "Justice must be served. President Trump, we are asking you today: please free Joe Exotic."

This month has also seen the announcement that Cage, as mentioned up top, has indeed signed on to portray Mr. Exotic in an eight-episode scripted series that pulls from Leif Reigstad's Texas Monthly article "Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild."

Euclid Fish Co. offers its catches, from the ordinary to the exotic, for carryout and meals - News-Herald.com

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT

Getting bored with the same old meals? It's been said that most households rely on the same 10 ingredients, rotating them for several dishes.

Wake up the family with a dinner of octopus or crayfish. Or consider barramundi, an Australian sea bass similar to grouper. Loaded with healthy omega 3s, it's farmed in the waters Down Under, flash-frozen and available here with online orders from Euclid Fish Co. in Mentor.

Many home cooks are intimidated by fish, but Terrie Young can help you out. She's the wife of Euclid Fish owner John C. Young and the mom of John V. and Charles Young, representing the fourth generation of the Young family to run the business.

Even some who claim to not like fish find barramundi to be light and delicious. It's perfect in fish tacos, so today's recipe is sure to gather fans and requests for an encore on the next Taco Tuesday or any other time.

Euclid Fish Co., in business for 76 years, continues to provide fish to area many markets, such as Heinen's. However, in keeping with the times, it has segued its retail business into a thriving carryout operation. Order from its website and include a pickup time, framed around lunch and dinner hours. Drive to its Mentor store, at 7839 Enterprise Drive, and call to let them know you've arrived. Your packaged order is brought out by a masked-and-gloved employee and loaded into your trunk.

That employee is likely to be a John V. Young or another member of the same family, which began Euclid Fish back in the 1940s. His brother, Charles, lives in the Pittsburgh area, where his focus is developing business in western Pennsylvania. Terrie is chief developer of recipes.

Euclid Fish-lobster

Four frozen North Atlantic lobster tails are $41.99 and available for carryout.

The Young clan and their Euclid Fish have helped feed the boom in Northeast Ohio clambakes each late summer and early fall. Many of the bakes served at restaurants and backyards originate with the company.

"Because so many restaurants have closed, it's difficult to get wild fish because fishermen can't sell it and aren't going out as they did before COVID-19," said J.V., as John is known. "But the decades of relationships my family has developed allows us to get the best fish there is on the planet."

Just before travel became difficult, he and his brother had gone to New Zealand to develop relationships with fish farmers there.

Customers cruising the Euclid Fish website, efcmarket.com, often are astounded at the fish varieties to be found there. You'll find cod and salmon, of course, but also clams, walleye, perch, lobster, tilapia, shrimp, oysters, giant crab legs, swordfish, halibut, grouper and more. And it's a surprise to see steaks, chicken, veal, lamb, pork ribs and ground beef along with eggs and Ohio City Pasta in a fish market.

Euclid Fish-packaged salmon

Fresh organic Norwegian salmon is packaged to go.

"We're trying to serve our customers so they don't have to run all over town," said Terrie, explaining why toilet paper, paper towels and latex gloves also can be ordered on the website.

They also have meals to take home — but for now only on Fridays. Tater tots smothered with peppered smoked salmon and cheddar cheese is the most popular item on the Market Menu, but other meals include seafood sandwiches and wraps, seafood tacos, a variety of tater tots, chicken, beef, dinners framed around cod, sole and shrimp plus pairing dinners for two.

Besides toilet paper and paper towels, I also bought fresh organic Norwegian salmon and crawfish, just because I could. If I'd spent $200, I could have gotten doorstep delivery, but I was just there to grab provisions for a couple of dinners.

Euclid Fish-salmon at home

Fresh Norwegian salmon to go becomes salmon with shallots at home.

I created a divine salmon sauced with shallots, tomatoes, and cream and poured a lovely Rhone to drink with it. The original recipe, which came from a favorite French chef in Provence, included basil and créme fraiche, but I was out of both so I substituted chopped parsley and heavy cream. A nice dry Rosé from Provence was poured with it in France, but all I had was a Rhone. The full-flavored salmon stood up well to this vigorous wine.

The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
