There are people who won't eat any fish. Not salt water. Not fresh
water. Not prepared in anyway. They just don't like it. I know
two of them in my teeny-tiny circle of foodie friends. Not a
statistical sampling by any means, but there it is.

I didn't say "fishy" to indicate unfresh fish. I used it to indicate
that they don't like the taste of fish because it tastes like fish.

There are fewer now than there used to be, but I'd say the incidence
of fish-haters in the Midwest is higher than elsewhere.
