Something Fishy

People, do you know how hard it is to buy fish without plastic wrapping?  Even when you have a happily compliant fishmonger, such as the good people at G. Armstrong in Stockbridge?  Some fish don't mind a bit of paper - witness Exhibit No. 1, hot smoked salmon:

Oh dear, oh dear.......

Nothing that a little rinse under the faucet won't remedy.
