THAT IS FISHY

A charitable interpretation would be, that I reckon the sales assistant had wrapped the small packet of fish so efficiently, s/he could not see what it was when the job was done. 

The customer that came and bought the well-packaged fish, some time ago, was yours truly, me.  I bought it because I saw a label stating the contents were undyed natural smoked haddock.  When home, I put the packed fish as was, in a clear freezer bag and placed it in the freezer.  Today, rummaging around in the freezer, I saw the label ....just the thing, we'll have Kedgeree tonight.  Maybe, I'll prepare rice now, I thought, then I decided to do it later.  I left the bagged contents to defrost while went out to town pay some bills.

Salivating at the thought of the flavours of the meal to come, I got the rice out, but then, first, checked to see if the fish was ready for cooking.  Just as well I did.  As I took one bag off, then another, and yet another, the colour of the contents did not quite gel with the description on the label--natural-- undyed--this was looking decidedly orange-ish through a white plastic food bag.

Our evening meal became flash fried sweet chili - coated slices of salmon.
