Thanks for info on seafood!

I'm from inland so I'm mainly used to herring and coalfish.
Fresh herring with new potatoes was one favourite of older
people in my childhood. Coalfish is here usually frozen...

On the other hand, especially perch and vendace were more
usual at our table when I was a child. Salmon simply costs
too much.

Jerry: "Mackerel are a species of fish commonly available
off the Eastern seaboard of North America. Judging by
Jukka's question, those "near" the Northeastern end of the
North Atlantic are unfamiliar with the fish or the saying. I
do not know the genesis of the adjective "holy" for
mackerel."

Well, I've never heard that saying. Mackerel as name is of
course ordinary. I just couldn't get that Mackerel was
*that* mackerel.

"BTW, why is Spinoza "holy"?"

Why not? - I think it's because of his personal morals or
ethics was that of monk. Immaculate thinker and citizen.

Yours, Jukka
