[Sca-cooks] Fish at feasts

[aeduin]

Darachshire's Black Oak Lodge frequently serves fish.  And not just 
salmon, though we've done that a few times.  Mussels have been done 
also.  Plus, Dame Selene did a quite tasty bouillabaisse for the 
Friday Night Soup Kitchen.

It helps that the food is one of the draws for the event and that 
many of the people coming know to expect out of the ordinary things 
and come with an open mind.
