i've eaten fish eyes..whole little dried anchovies, all crunch, sun dried to dark tropical tan.heads, eyes, and backbones still in place, and then served in a chili sause.. indonesian style. my table mates were not happy when they finally noticed.. but i was almost done..

i think of my self as a picky eater.. but mostly i don't like smoked or salted meat.. (salted fish is ok) so no ham, or corned beef, or smoked salmon, or kippers .. but bacala is good.. and so are anchovies.. and gravolox, and mexican? spanish? style cevishie(?)-- fish cured in lime juice and salt? served cold? not cooked, but cured by acid. (please correct me.. i know the words in red are wrong.. but can't find them )

but almost nothing smoked--and for the most part, i'll try anything.. once.
