[Sca-cooks] fish at SCA feasts

[kattratt]

As far as fish goes around here...
In Southern Atlantia, they LOVE shellfish if allergies are respected!!!
I had zero return serving shrimp and crab at my first feast.  However I 
also respected concerns due to sensetivities/allergies.  We served with 
OOP gloved hands and sanitized with bleach water.   Both gloved hands 
and non-gloved hands.  The Crowns enjoyed it, the populace enjoyed it, 
hell I enjoyed it.   I had been warned six ways to Sunday... but I did 
it and everyone enjoyed it.  
I urge folks to understand all sensitivities and keep a clean kitchen.
Even when they don't have a kitchen.
Sorry but my exwife is sensitive to sugar and it is a reaction that I 
have never enjoyed....
