Why Do Some Foods You Buy. Taste Of Fish?

I have noticed that some shop bought tomatoes taste of fish!
One of the reasons, l got my own hens is that some shop bought eggs, tasted of fish!

I know it’s probably what the hens were fed on and what the tomatoes are grown in or fed, but it’s so off putting!

Have you noticed that some foods you buy these days, taste of fish?

Blood fish and bone fertilizer with the emphasis on fish? funnily enough I was just thinking how when eating some fish and chips the other day, how the fish no longer seemed to taste of fish,not like I could remember from days of old.

Why Do Some Foods You Buy Taste Of Fish?
Blind Boy Fuller posed a similar question in 1938:

What's that smell like fish, mama?
Food, if you really want to know
What's that smell like fish, baby?
Food, if you really wants to know
Smell like puddin' and it ain't no pie
Same thing that you know you have to buy
What's that smell like fish?
Food, if you really wants to know, I mean
Food, if you really wants to know (Yeah)

I though a cucumber I had recently tasted of fish

Tomatoes taste horrible at this time of year wherever they come from even when covered in herbs to disguise the flavour.

I had noodles the other day that smelt and tasted of fish. When I checked the ingredients, it said they contained fish protein.

They use some sort of preservative gas in some packaged foods, if you find fish offensive this gas is worse IMO it's like ammonia to smell. Not something you want a whiff off when you open the pack.

Meg, I sometimes find that cucumbers have a metallic taste!

Caricature, l sometimes wonder if Cod in fish and chip shops is substituted with similar white fish? But.... they would have to state the fish they’re selling, wouldn’t they?
I never ask for fish and chips in a fish and chip shop as they could give me any old fish. I always, ask for Cod or Haddock.
That’s my theory and l’m sticking to it!!
