Even fresh-water salmon, which may be a form of trout (don't quote me because I definitely do not know whereof I speak!)

I've been a fish eater ever since. Even my "brand" of vegetarianism included fish, so I guess I was never a true veggy-tarian. Protein is good for me personally; starch and whole grains do not agree with me.

Ah. That is the difference. We always got our fish from the fish market down at the wharf - wonderfully fresh. Mrs Paul's never entered our house.
