Deep Blue Chromis



Chromis Abyssus


This tricky little fellow evaded notice from mankind's ravenous maw for ages but as of ten years ago, we discovered them prancing around coral reefs as if they had the right. Although no official report has been made as to their taste, I am sure that the sweetness of our victory over this elusive species is a far richer sauce than any the French could devise. To think of the sheer gall and tenacity this fish must have had to slink away into its abyssal homes instead of making itself easily ingestible by its superiors. What's worse is that it brings to mind all the other fish, mollusks, low flying birds, and monotremes hiding out there, trying to stay off our menus and avoiding warming our heads. Well, if we found the Deep Blue Chromis, you hitherto unknown stew ingredient, we'll find you. Mark my words.

I judge it: Worthy of Existence (Although the sooner we eat these things into oblivion, the better a lesson we'll teach to the others)
