The other thing?

I'm a ridiculous foodie... believe me... I've tasted a great many things that sound wayyy worse!

I'll admit... had I known how hard it was.. I would have stopped at 1 instead of 4. But I got some really nice, large filets out of them

 

[catnapped]

Yeah. Worth doing?

I haven't done them in awhile so I don't know if they changed the app but basically (when I was doing them) they have a list of various objects (kitchen utensils, clothing, food items, etc.) that you can submit 5 photos of in each 'category'. You get 7 cents for every photo they accept and up to 28 cents bonus for four additional photos if they're approved by 'us' (whoever's working on the review hits*). Anything I didn't have around I would take pictures of whenever I was out shopping. It's usually best if you found five different objects (lets say 'frying pan') but you often can send in photos of the same object if you alternate the background or even the positioning of the object...up to a point. If the photo looks too similar to something you sent in, it won't accept it and will have you retake the photo. They're not bad as you can make a few bucks while you're doing them but you're not going to get rich off of it.

edit: you have to draw a box around the object in the photo (with your finger or a pen or whatever) before you send it. Forgot about that.

* If you do the reviews and try to review your own photo that hit gets rejected automatically.

No, I love gar fish. A lot of trash fish tastes like heaven if you cook it properly.

I don't like seafood. Like, any of it.

One fishing trip I caught a bunch of gafftopsail catfish despite everyone saying how nasty they were. Well... after struggling with the damned things for an eternity and cooking them... I ended up eating a nice big crow that night. Disgusting fish indeed.

I am super happy to say that 1 out of my 3 rejections were turned around. The other 2 were acknowledged by the requester but he said the rejections got deleted automatically due to an error with the program.

Like catfish. They are amazingly delicious cooked in foil on hot coals!

I made a catfish couvillion night before last night. Ever had that?

That's Ok, some folks don't.

I have not. But I'm going to google it, lol! Most of my fish is grilled or broiled or made in foil. Unless I'm making fish bites (I bread them myself then fry them up in oil. Super fattening but oh. so. good.)

Okay, so probably all right if you already have an Android but don't go buy one just for these HITs.

I think there's a trick to it. Freshwater fish requires a lot of patience, just like Mturk. If you're willing to spend time making the fresh fish palatable, then you're in for a treat.

Pretty much. It's one of those "make a few bucks while you weren't doing anything" kinds of things.
