Fish is a common allergy. I have to tell you, I like seafood but I hate the smell of a lot of it. Weird? Maybe. I was in a store yesterday, picking up bread, and they were cooking some fish in the back (maybe crab cakes? Something for take out.) I had to get out of there. The cooked fish smell plus the awful perfumes people put on when they go out and it was nauseating. (I have a super strong sense of smell. Ears bad, eyes bad but I can compete with the dogs for sense of smell!)

 

If you hate fish, it's not unusual. In fact, I think fish-aversion is one of the most common food dislikes. If you were coming over and I knew you didn't like fish, I wouldn't even have it in the house. I get that. 


I don't shop at our Smiths store for that very reason.  They put in a fresh fish/seafood deli.  The smell nausiates me and I generally need to be close for the things I need.

 

Per other posts, in my opinion anyone you invite over is a guest even if it's family.
