eat 'em up, yum! (part deux)
"...Benjaminson's group cut chunks of muscle five to 10 centimetres long from large goldfish. After washing the chunks in alcohol, they immersed them in a vat of fetal bovine serum, a nutrient-rich liquid extracted from the blood of unborn calves, which biologists usually use for growing cells in the lab.
After a week in the vat, the fish chunks had grown by 14 per cent, Benjaminson and his team found. To get some idea whether the new muscle tissue would make acceptable food, they washed it and gave it a quick dip in olive oil flavoured with lemon, garlic and pepper. Then they fried it and showed it to colleagues from other departments."

Remember when Mr Burns tried to eat 'Blinky' the three eyed fish to prove it was safe to eat? The reporters wrote the headline describing Burns' political campaign as he spat out the fish- 'Dead before it hit the ground.'
