Scene: One of the fanciest restaurants in Cincinnati. I ordered Boston Scrod with a creamy herb sauce. The waiter left and we had a small discussion about which fish we like best yadayada. I explained that the only fish that I didn’t like was salmon. Too fishy. Anyway, dinner arrives. I ate a couple bites, and remarked that it didn’t taste fresh. My friend tasted it and said, “That’s because you’re eating salmon, not scrod.”
BTW, I didn’t mention it the waiter. We were running short of time and couldn’t wait for a new entree.
