Under most circumstances, this is probably pretty safe. If there's 
enough for everyone to have at least a single bite of the dish, it'll 
probably be enough for everyone who actually wants some to get a 
small portion. With other foods in the course, that should be fine, 
and you can bulk out the course with cheaper foods. No one will go 
hungry and no expensive fish will be thrown away.

Of course, if this were Ostgardr or Carolingia (which house, 
mundanely, the Fulton Fish Market and the Boston Wholesale Fish 
Market, respectively), or one or two other East Kingdom groups, 
there'd be rioting. In such groups, if you're gonna serve fish, you 
have to serve _fish_!
