Powdered fish? What is that, a dried fish which is then crushed into
a powder? How was it used in period recipes? As a soup base? I assume
dimilarly to what you'd do with a dried/stockfish, but if you soak or
boil them, you get something somewhat resembling a fish, at least.
If you powder a fish, does it keep the fish oils that are now coveted?
If so, will we see fish powder being added to chocolate shakes and
such in the future? :-)
