Reminds me of [IIRC] Garrison Keillor's reference to the "Legalize Lutefisk" bumper sticker

I have enjoyed salmon straight from the smoker and smoked albacore from a certain SoCal restaurant. I suspect these are a more delicate version of the smoked swimmers discussed here -- and I'll stick with them, paired with crackers and a nice cold adult beverage.

The only "with milk" dish I recall from childhood was white bread torn up and soaked in cold milk as a "sickbed" meal.
