When I was a kid in the 1960s, convenience food for quick sandwiches consisted frequently
of cheap tinned pilchards in tomato sauce, & sardines.
Jars of salmon, crab, shrimp, and other processed fishy flavour pastes..

Meals of Kippers, and smoked haddock..

Sunday teatime treats of tinned salmon mashed with onion and vinegar sandwiches.
Seaside holiday snacks of jars of cockles..

I ate all that because it's what busy working class mum had meagre time and money to provide..

In my pretentious teens I could tolerate mussels in garlic sauce
whilst trying to keep up with a middle class girlfriend..

Sword fish steaks in Corfu confounded me, because they looked like yummy pork chops
but tasted so fishy, they made me gag...


Since then I've not enjoyed any seafoods except good traditional bland cod n chips,
and tuna heavily flavoured with garlic, chilli.
or any other savoury flavours that stop it tasting like fish...

I'll continue to take a pass on Sushi...
