It's fine. You may have had it already in salads and not especially realised. It's just like very strong fish, not rancid or "weird" in any way. I suppose like blue cheese flavour is forcheese, this dried fishes flavour is to fish! you soak it in flakes or whatever and put it in salads with tomatoes and olive oil. The oil tastes lovely.

Even stronger are the "block" of dried fish roe they sell. That's like eating all the fish you've ever eaten in your life in one mouthful.

Thanks for that gaveteran, I can impress the Mrs now when she asks "what do they do with that foul smelling stuff"
The oil does sound interesting
