Inspectors have also found that some companies soak fish in water with formaldehyde and lye to make it appear fresher.

No more tasty embalmed fish?

Wow, this is great. I am sure that every manufacturer in China will adhere to not using the banned substances. /sarc

Lead, melamine, cadmium, mercury...

Wafarin, benzene, ...

Sometimes it's not worth reloading to shoot MORE fish in the barrel.

The Norwegians invented that. It's called "lutefisk".

Minnesotans have been known to foist it upon unsuspecting guests at Thanksgiving.

 What's in a name? Literally translated, Lutefisk means lyefish, which refers to the early process of soaking where a lye solution made of birch ashes was used in the luting process.

Thanks to many Lutheran friends in my life, I am familiar with Lutefisk. I have yet to give it a try despite being gastronomically adventurous.
