This Wednesday we ended another chapter in our science of food course. Can you imagine what we were talking about? *hint* *the headline*
If you guess fish and shellfish you are correct...that was quite easy huh?
We got a represent from "Swedish Fish", a educational Swedish organisation who are for the 
fisher men and trying to inspire people to eat more fish, teach them how to cook fish more than fry it and more understanding for industry fishing.
It has been 3 intense days with lectures and experiments with fish and different degrees to cook them perfectly. Also we learned about different fishing methods to catch certain marine species, fish zones, different methods of cooking fish, species, shellfish, clamps, fresh fish versus old fish(still fresh but not smelly), whole fish versus fillet.
I have always thought the fish we bought fresh in the grocery fish counter was yesterday's caught and not 12 days old....that was something surprising to me. The fish fillet cutters argue which is the best way to fillet a fish before or after rigor mortis(when the body becomes rigid). Too fresh fish can fall apart when cooking it so it really depends on what specie, what you are going to do with it and how it has been handled.
If you get a bad quality fish, it cannot be made into a good dish...
its like you get a ugly cloth with many holes to make a prom dress and you cannot add things to it more than the sewing thread and do you honestly think it will be a success?
Anyway back to the course, we ended the week with a 12 course buffet evening and after tasting through everything I didn't want to see any fish for a long time.....a really long time.....I'm just so feed up with the look, taste and smell of it. Don't get me wrong, I love fish but after this part of the course I'm done with it for a long time.
My classmate Ellen reported to me she was a bit ill the day after and when she was about to sleep she felt the illness again and during that night she had fishy night mares with a white fish chasing her, she could smell and taste of fish too and it was a really unpleasant dream. She is always visiting her parents during the weekdays and they serve fish during the weekends and the thought of eating fish again after the night mare, Ellen couldn't bare with the thought and phoned her mother to say NO FISH this weekend.
Another classmate, Kristina who are mother to 3 children I think, says the day after the buffet they had pizza, she felt she tasted fish and not 
....talk about information overload or should I say brain washing? Amazing how it affects many of us after this. Even me felt sick when seeing fresh fish in the fish counter after those information days and it was before I heard about my class mates stories. I thought I wouldn't be feeling like this, I was more or less looking forward to the fish lessons....
