Eggs Smell Like Fish in Peru

Eggs Smell Like Fish in Peru
I went into the very modern Plaza Vea a supermarket in Lima, Peru and purchased some eggs. I boiled all 18 of them in my room, and then when I started to eat a couple of them, I started to gag, the eggs tasted like Fish.

I truly despise the smell or harsh taste of fish, I threw all the eggs in the trash, this was the second time in Peru eggs tasted and smelled like fish.

My body starts to smell when I eat too much of one type of food. I am suggesting or proposing that these chickens in Peru were fed some form of Fish as a form of food.

Were these chickens fed fish?

This can be a result of feeding hens with a food made of ground fish-bones. This is a cheap solution, a secondary product. The only disadvantage, that the eggs and meat is smells and tastes like fish. It was common in the communist time in Hungary too, but nowadays you can buy good eggs and meat.

Andy did you buy 18 eggs in Anguilla and boiled them in your room at Casa Nadine? I know the owner and he loves raw eggs and salt shark.

I often boil eggs in Hotels, I do not remember the Hotels. I probably did cook something in Anguilla because the cost of food is expensive. I expect I used the my alcohol cooking system there. Hmm, I remember now, that Hotel had a kitchen that guest could use, a great reason to live in this Hotel.

Ronald, I think I was talking with your Father?

Actually what hens are fed is what makes eggs taste like that. Hens are fed harina de pescado (fish meal), which makes their eggs smell/taste bad. Ever since the nineteen nineties there were regulations where chickens should only be fed fish meal until a certain period, and then fed corn/other so they wouldnt taste like fish (chicken tasted like fish!), but unfortunately, it doesnt work the same way with eggs.

I am very sorry you had such a horrible experience, a good alternative are organic eggs (huevos de corral), which are farm eggs. Also, if you are making eggs (especially scrambled) use a tad of milk, it takes the fish taste/smell out. Hard boiled and fried, cant be treated with this though.
