I confess, I am sometimes a picky eater. However, I am perfectly capable of
gracefully declining a dish I don't care to eat. (Anyone remember the
phrase, "No, thank you" ? )

I normally do not care for fish, and specifically salmon. I got my mind
changed for me at Pennsic. Our campmates prepared salmon, cooked over the
grill with some sort of rub, and sea salt. I didn't get recipes for any of
the dishes--though I  intend to!--and this was hands down the BEST Scadian
meal I have ever had. The salmon simply melted in my mouth. It was divine.
