The family doctor always told me that "If fish smells like fish, through it away - it's not fresh" He was talking about the actual raw fish, not the smell of cooking.

Woft:

I don't know where your doctor fishes, but live fish I personally catch always smell "fishy", although some, but not all of the "fishy" smell disappears after cleaning them.

Most of the people I know that do not fish do not like the smell of fish wheather live, store bought, or frozen, but usually like to eat it after it has been prepared. These are the people commercial processors prepare the fish for. Another good example of something with a pungent odor but great tasting is limberger cheese.

Don't forget that old standby, garlic (although I kind of enjoy the aroma).

Hey Wildcard163:

You're talking to an Italian born soul here.

Garlic does not have an odor, it is a perfume. I would rather kiss a woman with garlic on her breath than one with tar & nicotine coming out of her lungs.

I wouldn't even date a woman who smokes, let alone do anything else with her.

(P.S. Do you ever intentionally do that internal burping routine after having eaten a large quantity of garlic containing cuisine? The gas coming up gives an impression of a high quality steak. If you have never done it and want to try, remember to make it a gently forced burp of low volume and keep you mouth closed. It even fills up the sinus cavities with a rich aroma.)

I grew up with in walking distance from the Mississippi River in western Illinois.My father worked every fish fry our local VFW had.His recipe was simple.Soak in milk briefly(just to wet)and roll in yellow corn meal with salt and pepper to taste.Deep fry till golden brown.He always sold out of carp as well as catfish.And as others mentioned it was not ethnic or racial in the ones who came to eat.It was just simple good FRESH fish caught 12 city blocks away.

Boatman:

But was it the same year round, or did the quality of the fish suffer as the weather warmed?

Ooookay... I'm not even gonna touch that one.

True, a lot of Labeling and Mislabeling has gone on, and does go on, -thruout Man's History and Current Affairs! But Not Entirely or Always so either!

The Al Qaida and such *Portion* of Islam, for instance, -IS *Genuinely* a bunch of Bad Folk! No "Corporate Manufacture" or anything as you mention, -has gotten their Bad Ball Rolling!, -on U.S.! I'd like to Friendlyly and Respectfully so Remind!

Three Years On is still Not a terribly Long Time! So Many of us talked Loud and Long about Never Forgetting! I'm Not saying that you've done any X level of Forgetting, -But How Well do Many of U.S. Fully or Sufficiently Remember!?

Al Qaida and Co. Deserves their typical Rap and Reputation. They've Donned such Shoes, -They Well Fit, -and They Should so be Worn! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]bountyhunter[/email]

I disagree as those people are not in my Country killing me or mine.

Within the State of Wisconsin, County of Milwaukee, I don't go to areas where I am unwelcome or may be attacked. That is my feeling about the areas outside of my Country.

Big buisness goes everywhere.

Bountyhunter

I Hear your Point. But I do Remind that 9-11 New York, Washington, and PA were and are!, -Certainly Within our Own Country! Not that Long Ago either.

And while I'm generally upwind of those locations, -I'm Downwind of say Chi-Town! Such things certainly can Directly Affect me, you, or Anyone here Else!

We should Prepare Closer to the 10 of Martin's Scale, -as oppossed to Further from it. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]bountyhunter[/email]
