Hi @justclickindiva - found your post via Listnerds.
An interesting "use case" for beer!
Speaking of fish handling, I used to have a part-time job as a fishmonger's mate, so I've handled quite a lot of fish in my time. Everybody knows about the end-of-day small especially a long hot summer's day selling fish.
However, in the early morning the aroma of freshly filleted fish laid out on ice is really quite pleasant.
I like your resourceful way of making yourself useful enough not to have to do the boring chores you didn't like.
