It's a moot point now that converting them to raw fish requires a cauldron, you can't just grab a floor fish and cook it. Heck if things made sense you'd use the butchers table to fillet them.

Cauldron requirement slipped my mind on that part (even though I had mentioned it in a previous paragraph), so, yeah, there is already a Bronze Age progression lock for using fish.

Ugh, this is getting frustrating to think about...
