Yesterday I ate a canned fish named...

[rodrell]

...Petri. I believe it must be Finnish ( well, northern nonetheless ) . Delicious in red sauce. it's taste was kind o'sweet. Any connections there? Also what does petri mean, and what kind of fish is it ( It's certainly not tuna )?

[petri]

Really? Was it any good?
I've only heard of Petri dish before.

"Petri" is the Finnish version of "Peter", so friends call me "Pete".

It was delicious ! Really. Any idea what kind of fish it was? Because the can was written all over in foreign letter words ( I believe they were Finnish but I don't have the empty can to confirm it with you ).

Finnish is written with the "western" alphabet plus three umlauts: åäö. If the text was in cyrillic letters, it was probably Russian. =)

Then it was Finnish..

Can you google up a picture or something? I can't find anything relevant.

[rodrell]

It was the only pic I found, and quite small, too, if I might add..

Apparently 'petri' is a LIDL brand.. and I think that's danish or something, as it has the slashed O character (no idea what's that called).

So to rephrase: there's no fish called 'petri', it's just a grocery store chain label. The fish you ate was probably herring or kipper or something. =)

Maybe it was a Red Herring?
