> *laughs* What is the fish equivalent of apple pie? Salmon?

These days it is salmon.  Another example of what changes modern 
technology (in this case aquaculture) has wrougth on our society.  When 
I was a child, kids hated white fish with a vengance, these days they 
hate pink fish.  

Cod was the fish dominating my childhood: cod for dinner, dried cod for 
snack (preferrably appropriated from the neighbour's barn), cod liver 
oil for health and fishing cod for fun.

Then my parents moved south, to the core of apple growing Norway.  
When you have had apple in your tomato-based spaghetti sauce, you have 
had it all.  And you yearn for fish, but the fish they have in the 
south have been dead for hours before they serve it.  Yuck.

BTW, if you live in a cold country, smiling to people waiting for the 
bus could be dangerous - some get confused and slip on the ice, others 
start talking to you about details in radar technology deployed on spy 
ships in the Barents Sea.  Did I say spy?  I meant "research".
