If you know how it is made, you probably wont it eat it.
We do, we love it, but not everyday or week.
Pecks anchovy paste ( which these days is not what it used to be) varies in quality as the seasons change.
Then we switch to "wedwo"

Yeah, don't know where he/she is ordering sushi from. Jeez, fish paste stuff with rice. Sies.
I do not partake in sushi. You have issues with fermented stuff?
Source please for the "fermented" quote?

I love sushi and fresh fish. My issue is with “old” fish (fermented, smoked except salmon).

No, but I do have a issue with a mixture of pilchards, mackerel and anchovies.

The fish paste in question here is fermented, why did you then bring sushi into the discussion? I questioned you on topic.
It was about fish? so, question answered,
You have not provided evidence about the fish paste in question being fermented. Please go ahead and do so.

It’s the definition of fish paste according to the Bible of cooking (Larousse Gastronomique). If it’s not fermented, it’s not fish paste but industrials cheating you.

I used to, but as it's been declared unfit for human consumption it can't be imported into the EU anymore so I can't buy it now.
Used to like it on hot toast, with plenty of butter.

Source? Fermented or otherwise
It was some years ago, both Redro and Pecks supposedly failed health tests and were banned, it was around 2014 iirc.

When I made further enquiries I found the ban is EU wide.
So what is DEFRA?

So what were their issues? You said "not fit for human consumption".
