Hmmm might be its too easy for us to get dried fish here. And according to her and her friends, I cook really good dried fish. Yes you can tell when dried fish is bad, I really couldn't say how we know, its just not right. Smells stinky in the wrong way I guess. There are so many different types of dried fish, my favorite is actually dried squid. Second is Dangit. They're my wife's favorite to, so we stick to just those two types. There are others I don't really care for much. I would guess if your wife had a source of good dried fish, her interest would jump up sharply. If the dried fish is bad, such as spoiled or poorly made in the first place, then its really really bad. Cooking it wrong can make it bad to. I'm surprised the dog would eat it, we've gotten some our dog refused after we wouldn't eat it. Although normally she's all excited when we finish eating dried fish because she gets dried fish in her dinner afterwards. She usually gets a little treat in her dinner after ours, but she really gets excited when she smells dangit, even resorting to a few barks to remind me to move faster serving her dinner :lol:

I was just thinking about dried fish from 2011, so its at least 7 months old and up to a year and half. I don't think I'd want to try that myself. :no::P I think you might still be stuck with if after those Filipinos come for the weekend. Or maybe the dog can take of it for you.

Stopped by the Filipino store on my way home yesterday and picked up pasalubong, a package of dried fish and a package of smoked fish. We cooked it outside on the grill in a pan. I ate one dried fish and two smoked. I didn't care for the dried fish as usual. Jena really liked the smoked fish, she said it was the type her Grandfather used to make for her and it was her favorite. We'll probably stick to the smoked fish from now on and I might try smoking some salmon on the electric smoker tonight.

I've introduced my wife to smoked salmon, but she doesn't like it. She loves grilled salmon though. I've also introduced her to walleye, crappies and red snapper. She's like all of them. Our real treat meal is snow crabs. I've seen the smoked fish at the Filipino store, but that apparently isn't something she ate back home and has never shown and interest in it, even when I pointed it out, she just said wala. Personally I wanted to give it a try.

We had dried fish last night as a snack before we went out for dinner. We were going out for dinner at a friend's house and dinner was going to be late. So I got out the dried fish frying pan and put it on the grill and cooked some up. Made some extra for my wife's lunch today to, although she'll keep that in the car rather than bring it inside to eat. She knows it stinks and doesn't want to offend her coworkers :rofl:

I had this one fellow soldier from South Carolina when I was in the army. He warmed up Chitterlings - the intestines of a pig and smelled up the entire barracks for hours :crying:
