#789 – Oakenfold

I have actually eaten swordfish. I just had it once though. I think I liked it but I guess it didn’t make much of an impression on me because I can’t remember what it was like. Fish and chips is still my favorite way to enjoy fish. It’s not as good out here in the midwest as it was when I lived in Boston but it’s still a favorite.

Speaking of amazing limited time offers, you have less than a year left to take advantage of The Book of Biff #4 preorder sale!

    The closest I’ve gotten to eating a swordfish is riding one in Donkey Kong Country

  2. LazerWulf says:

    I haven’t had swordfish, but I have had shark and alligator. Can’t quite remember what shark tasted like, but the alligator was almost like steak.

  3. Maese Davas says:

    @Speakerblast: Man, Engarde was an amazing pal! Best way to beat those sharks!

  4. It looks a lot more like the dinner exploded and there was a razor in it. Fortunately for Biff, it went completely the opposite direction.

  5. Vosur says:

    I’d rather have a hammerhead shark, they’re more handy for hanging pictures on the wall.

    Swordfish is delicious, even at Red Lobster. Venison is terrific in any situation. Frog legs are just okay; same with rattlesnake. And musk ox is a waste of time — tough and bland even when it’s been marinated to death.

    Squab is on my to-do list. I’ll keep you posted.

  7. greenimp says:

    so is he having the swordfish to eat, or is he feeding a swordfish?

  8. Micah says:

    Wait…is he eating one or dining with one?

  9. hunt says:

    swordfish is delicious its like a steak but flakey and with a bit of salt it is delicious

  10. Lich King says:

    @Vosur lol thats a good one

  11. GURREN LAGAAAAANN says:

    The only fish I’ve ever eaten is smoked salmon. If I remember, I hated it. 😀

  12. MontyFang says:

    I tend to stay away from things with the word sword in them…

  13. DOOD! says:

    @MontyFang
    For shame! You must be taught by Fighter the importance of sword related objects, especially Sword chucks! Sword Chucks YO!
    @GURREN LAGAAAAANN
    Looking at your name keeps reminding me of this video

    Looks like it made the plate crack up.

  15. MaskedMan says:

    Lucky Biff wasn’t having hammerhead shark for lunch! 😀

    @ 3davideo: For that pun, you must DIE! :p

    Swordfish is nice, but I prefer shark. Never tried ‘gator, but venison is good. Bison is better, though!

  16. Beth says:

    Gator meat, like most reptiles, is not a strongly flavored meat in itself, due to it’s low fat content (the fat is what really gives meats like beef and pork their unique yummy flavor). That’s why a lot people will say things like gator “taste like chicken” — which means it tastes mostly like whatever sauce and spices and such you cook it with. Here in New Orleans, gator is not considered particularly exotic, but I’ve never seen it simply eaten plain — at the very least it is marinated in something. Of course, we like to fry anything. Alligator sausage is good too; one of my favorite local restaurants does an amazing shrimp & alligator sausage cheesecake as an appetizer!

    Have had shark, swordfish, venison, bear, and a quite a few others. Must say I prefferred the bear over venison anyday. Can’t stand squab.. but that might have just been the way it’d been cooked.

  18. Mophtran says:

    Question for you, Chris. Ever been to the Barking Crab?

  19. Chris says:

    @Mophtran – nope!

  20. GL says:

    mmm… Seafood…

  21. Zach Light says:

    I bet that came offly close to somewhere that painful when you hit a man there, and a sword fish would probably do well in a underwater fencing tournament.

  22. Reminds me of one time I was at the beach, and a baby shark got too close to shore that day…suddenly a fin goes by me…

    As it was heading back towards the ocean, mom comments on how she just kicked something big underwater…

    That shark never returned to Florida AGAIN.

  23. Mophtran says:

    Best place to get crab with a group of friends. Bucket o’ crab legs… 😀

  24. i.half4 says:

    A little help again? Did I miss someone getting the source of the Oakenfold musical reference? (assuming that it still must be)

  25. -2! says:

    @ Speakerblast

    If i hadn’t beaten Donkey Kong Country 1 2 and 3 all within about a 3 months of now I would have to do so now 🙂

  26. Matt Lee says:

    I am a despiser of fish of all kinds and would probably never try swordfish.

    Very off subject: Has anyone ever tried Shamwow? They really aren’t as good as they say. I have two of ’em. You wouldn’t say they suck. They just aren’t that great.

  27. Matt Lee says:

    @Chris

    I never have asked before and have been holding it in ever since the fist comic I saw. What is with Biff’s Eyebrows?!?

  28. Cedarus Rex says:

    I’m allergic to fish 🙂

    I can eat shellfish though… they are just giant aquatic bugs.

  29. Slippy Lane says:

    Swordfish is okay I guess, but I find it a bit too stabby for my liking.

    Oh, and the only place in the world to purchase fish and chips is in a little shop in Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. Quite a trip for a friday night takeaway, I’ll admit 🙂

  30. -2! says:

    @ Matt Lee

    If you go to the homepage, see the New Notes at the bottom? There is an link to a tiny interview which within that page the link to the interview is here and he explains the eyebrows in it.

    Also it says it in less details on the super secret about page (and proves its a mouth)

  31. Logan says:

    I hope that swordfish didnt cut too deep into the table because by the looks of the trajectory it seems like biff might have to seriously consider some new life choices..

  32. Twilightfairy says:

    @logan i thought the exact same thing.

  33. Thedole says:

    no next button?! now what will make me laugh?!

  34. -2! says:

    @ Thedole

    Welcome to the most current page in the Book of Biff. I remember when that happened to me, at least its Sunday so its not long until the next comic. I caught up on a Friday.

    @ Logan, Twilightfairy

    he already did

  35. Matt Lee says:

    I’m always saddened by the weekends, there’s no school to get out of for the weekend and there’s no Biff.

  36. Matt Lee says:

    Let’s talk about random things all night until the next comic comes on.

  37. Matt Lee says:

    Never mind. Too late now.

  38. YukiSnowflake says:

    @MattLee… you asked the unaswerable.
    you should never ask about the biffbrows…
    or…. “bad things” will happen (*apparently*)
