    I was served Fish Fingers today, and right before I started eating them I noticed a strange toilet-like odor. Turned out the fish fingers smelled like urine. Any normal human being would probably have thrown them in the bin at that point, but I wondered.. would they not only smell like urine, but taste like it as well? So I took a bite, and because it didn't taste like urine (yes I know what urine tastes like :) ) I ate them all.

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      a. or the waiter went to the toilet before and did not washed his hands. b. or the fish in the fingers was from the end of one river in which some "toxic" waters arrive. c. or :wtf: :omg: YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE URINE TASTE!!!!! :rolleyes: Write what you've eaten in a paper.

        Doesn't all fish smell like that? :~ Fish is not to be smelled at anyway... On a side note: curiousity killed the cat :)

        Definitely not. You should try catching a fresh trout for instance, the typical fish-quay smell is absent.

          Since when do fish have fingers? Were they from Japan?

            I just asked the same question. Fish from Japan probably is relatively cheap...

              Since it was fish fingers, I guess you can say you were taken, hook, line and sinker. :)

                              Most, if not all, of the members of the shark and ray families have high concentrations of urea in their systems. The usual way to deal with this is to leave the flesh soaking in milk for at least a couple of hours, then rinse very well before cooking. I have been served skate wings at a restaurant that smelt worse than the portable toilets at a music festival! Perhaps the fish finger manufacturer was using cheap cuts of dogfish or shark?
