Too Fishy Here

This place smells nasty to me
Any place I’d rather be
Fisherman Wharf, yes, I know.
Fresh everything caught below.

Pungency of fish galore
Smell I truly do abhor
Shrimp tastes too fishy for me.
To Midwest I’d rather be.

I've only been to a fish market once in my life, and that was in Scotland... so I guess it was too cold for the fish to stink much. After reading this, I'd hate to go to a fish market in a warmer climate!!! :P hahaha

There is such a FISHY taste and a FISHY smell when they are fresh I can barely stand to eat a fish when this happens.

Thank you Eve. I never knew FISH could taste too fishy, but it can in San Francisco. They catch it and throw it on your plate from the side of the ocean.
