So it turns out that eating raw fish might not have been such a good idea after all

I like Sushi, but am increasingly convinced that most of it basically tastes the same. Apart from some I had in Charlotte, North Carolina once, which was smoked eel, but covered for some reason best known to Americans with barbecue sauce. That tasted shít.

I have never fully got on the sushi bandwagon.

It’s okay, not offensive, but I have always felt you need to lather on the wasabi or ginger stuff in order to make it taste of anything other than nothing.

Much prefer a good bag of crisps.

I would generally concur. It's possible, of course, that raw fish just doesn't taste of much.

The problem with sushi is that you get a wee bit of fish and a shedload of rice. For sushi I care little.

Sashimi, good sashimi, is an entirely different beast. Sashimi is the good shít.

Wasn't massively taken with that either.

Crisps win again.

I don't think it's really fair to compare anything to crisps, though, sw. Crisps are the greatest foodstuff on earth, after all.

Yes, but you are aware that crisps are full of oils (fat) and salt, aren't you? Not going to assist you with maintaining a svelte & athletic physique.

Your body functions without fat or salt? You're a scientific miracle, man!

Crisps or spuds ?

But it is nonetheless fair to say that in general, raw, non-oily fish has at best a delicate flavour.

You say, 'delicate flavour' as if that's a bad thing. There is a time and a place for big punchy flavours, and a time for delicacy, is there not? We aren't operating single note palates, surely?
