I don't have a problem touching fish - I can even kill and gut a live
one. I have an aversion to fish because I ate bony, bland lake fish
as a kid. Fish from the sea tastes a lot better and has more meat,
but I still am not a fish fan. If I can throw it in the oven, I'm ok
with cooking it (but not very often). If it's something like trout or
tilapia that needs to be coated and pan fried, well I won't fry... so
hubby gets the job. A couple times a year of eating fish at home is
fine by me. I'll order fish in a restaurant, no problem. But it's a
boneless hunk and I don't have to deal with anything other than eating
it.

Keep the shells on and let people shell their own. Did you wear
gloves? DD had an aversion to touching chicken. I don't know if it
was because of the raw chicken skin texture or her eczema, but she
wore gloves. I don't see her do it anymore because her husband
handles chicken now, she doesn't make a big deal of it and I don't
think to inquire.

I like liverwurst too, but not after the first day. It changes flavor
too much for me when it sits around.

Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
