Richard Brosseau, being French Canadian has a few problems with English.
Allow me to translate:

What he really meant was ``These acids are also the key ingredients
to fry marine fish''

Keeping marine fish in captivity is quite difficult and often results
in high mortality rates. What to do with the bodies ? Since it is known
(Carothers, 1989) that flushing them down the 'loo will result in
infection of endemic stock, domestic disposal must be used. Apart
from a little tainting with cyanide, these fish are perfectly edible. What we
do then is take a hint from our Innuit brethren and cook them in a
fish oil. With a little basil and garlic they're quite good. Don't
forget to remove the scalpels from the caudal peduncle of surgeon
fish or you'll be in for a bit of a nasty shock, though.

Yes, we use a multi grade salmond oil in our subarus. I think it's
20w/50. But Mr. Brosseau, being in a much colder clime would
probably need the lighter 5 weight salmond oil.

Fon an interesting account of how salmon and almond were succesfully
crossed to yield the salmond oil producing organism, check out
the February 1973 issue of _Smithsonian_, p. 44.

Well, you could'nt in any case. All the salmonds are owned by a cartel
of Isrealies.
