Re: Americans and fish
Where I am (SW.PA) everyone seems to eat tons of fish. You name it, if it swims, they eat it.
My OH has a shellfish allergy and so he doesn't like any fish very much at all.
We never really had to mention the allergy much in the UK but here nearly every time we are invited out it is to a fish restaurant or if someone is cooking...it's fish.

I have notices in the local supermarket's "fish monger" they chop all the fish up so you never see the whole fish; I'm sure it's a ploy so you can't tell how fresh the fish is.

Re: Americans and fish
How many people have heard the following, or variation of the following, in reference to fish..."Does it taste fishy?"
Does it make you want to go over to the person, slap them in the face and say "IT'S FISH FOR F'CKS SAKE, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL TASTE LIKE? BISCUITS?"
