HAHA! This really is an unpopular idea! I kinda just had to know. Thanks for all the comments so far.
Cool! I can't whack you for feeling this way,
many fish species are decidedly ugly, but yknow how the saying goes... "There's plenty of fish in the sea". Out of all of them, There's a small handful i find attractive. I kinda made this thread to find out which ones others may fancy.
I dont find seafood too appealing, despite growing up on the shores of an ocean i won't name. It's just too much of "a dead animal" for me. When i was younger, i could trick myself with chicken nuggets, and hot dogs. But it's hard to see a whole fish being served and not realize what it once was, and no longer is.
Sure!
My favorite are tuna. Both yellow and bluefin. They're striking colors are great, but their sheer size, sleek, muscular bodies, deep, almost voidlike eyes, and curious mannerisms really get me.
Tarpon are also high on my list. Again, i like their sleek and silver bodies and general physique. And dont let perspective fool you, they get to be around 8 feet long.
Fish, in their natural environment, have this odd... personality to them that you don't see in land animals, and that i don't think humans ever bothered giving a name too, We've only been able to observe large fish (for any decent period of time) in their environment very recently (Commercial scuba gear came in the 1940's. Before that the only experience you had with fish were with panicked and half dead ones you dragged up from the ocean, or the few "pretty" species in aquariums.).
But Fish have this grace, this aura of both confidence, power, and unique curiosity, and this completely alien intelligence... It turns me on deeply, both romantically and physically. And their wonderfully sexy bodies just pushes it well over the edge.
Ive never been good at describing things, so i guess i don't know how to say it well enough. I've always hoped somebody will do it for me some day. As we learn more (and we are learning more) about fish intelligence, their behaviors will become clearer.
As far as other species... Northern pike, Sockeye salmon, Flying fish. Mostly just due to their body shape. Admittedly superficial love.
