One of your images of Japanese probably includes "Japanese eat anything"

I like eating mullet, and often get some big ones here. But I usually hide them at the bottom of my catch bag. Over here almost no one eats them, and indeed the locals look at me strangely and say what are you going to do with that? When I say I'm going to eat it they laugh and make comments about strange foreigners. To the japanese they smell to much??
They have a smell but not that bad. I have seen it for sale so some people must eat it (secretly)

Even my wife, "another mullet" But she doesn't know if I serve it to her and not tell her what it is. She's happy then. "ah fresh fish yum"

old bay is a great seafood seasoning that i believe originates from crab bakes in the maryland area..

I have been using it for years on shrimp and other sea treats,,,frying fish in it sounds awesome
