"never...eat the stuff"

It's not too bad. Something like fishy-tasting jello. Yikes, that does sound awful doesn't it?

[Vigilanteman]

That's what I hear. But somehow, grating dried fish, soaking it until it has enough water, adding a pack of jello and putting the concoction into the fridge to set, then eating it sounds a LOT more appealing because it misses one important ingredient: lye.
