Interesting, I’ve never seen this! And it was served cold? I can see that being pretty fun. Cold fish skin is fine with me too!
Do “we” have to draw the line somewhere? I think everyone can draw their own. 
It really depends on the context, some times people break the rules to what you expect with something and you’re pleasantly surprised or even blown away. Other times you get angry. Some times it’s just a matter of perspective and what you were in the mood for.
I think in general rule breakers are a great thing. All of the interesting things foods we have today exist because someone did something different with an existing thing. If foods only existed in their original forms the culinary landscape would be a sad sad place.
Maybe some day club sandwiches will be made with 10 slices of bread! XD

Your 10 slices comment made me think of this fella.

No, it’s a hot dish. Usually white fish over soy bean sprouts with chilies, spices and herbs. It’s not particularly spicy, but delicious.
Oh my God, that sounds and looks excellent.

This is a nice little hack. It can be just on the inside-facing surfaces (so your fingers don’t get greasy) and you toast away. OR, you can grill one or both sides with the fat.
My late father-in-law, a combat veteran in the WW2 South Pacific, favored his breakfast toast spread with bacon fat. Who am I to argue?

My grandpa used to stand at the stove and dip bread or toast in the hot bacon grease while my grandma was taking the bacon out to drain. I never understood the allure when I was a kid, but now I keep a jar of bacon fat in the fridge for all my griddling (and roasting, sautéing and pan frying) needs.

My wife’s fave sammy is the Cousins club sub. Sorry if it isn’t a club by definition here; but it’s a damn fine sandwich. Has a hinge, sub bread (but the best sub bread), no layers. Just beats the living hell out of most trad club sandwiches.
I love it! That’s a PB club if I’ve ever seen one.
@linguafood are you talking about this kind of thing, water boiled fish? I tried looking up mouth water fish but didn’t find anything.
I didn’t come up with anything on the internetz, either, but what you found is not it (altho that’s also a favorite with our Sichuan jour fixe group 
). I will try to track down a pic I posted in one of many Fb groups I run, bc I am positive it’s there… somewhere.
I wish I’d taken a pic of the hand-written special menu plastered on the wall, which might’ve been helpful to you as well.
Lemme get back to ya shortly
Et voilà: mouthwatering catfish with pickled and hot peppers over bean sprouts.

I ended up putting the crispy skin into the poultry stock pot.
“I’ll take a nothing burger over a shit sandwich any day.”
True, but a shit sandwich usually gets shared with everyone, so…

Is that Basa or American catfish?
No idea. I assume American, since the place serving it is in Central PA.
Hey, who said anything about sharing???

Basa is cheaper and more common than American catfish at Asian restaurants in Canada.
