124 The Beginning of the End of Fish Variety
Listen now
Description
So there are a few fish we eat... and a few ways we eat them.  Breaded and fried of course, but as sushi, and then baked in the oven or fried on the stove - with this spice mix or that.  And that's... that's about it. But what if I told you that for a time there we at lots of fish in lots of ways.  So many that it starts to sound ridiculous. If you want to hear about all the different ways and the many different fish you could have encountered at the high point of America's fish period, this is the episode for you.  Likely far more butter sauces than you thought possible - and far more kinds of fish. But to peek at America's fishy past, this is where you want to be.
