We've discussed the problems with the acceptance of fish at feasts
several times. You might want to check this file in the FEASTS section
of the Florilegium. I think there is some commentary on how a few have
overcome this problem. Best of luck. *I'd* love to see fish more often
at Ansteorran feasts.
