I took the package from the head chef and inspected it carefully.
"This is organic fish?" I asked.
He raised an eyebrow at me, "Yes? Don't tell me it's your first time seeing fish."
"I mean… It's packaged like synthfood… I'd thought you have the whole fish or something."
"That is the whole fish, what are you talking about?"
Ok, fine… I guess they can't really transport fresh fish all over the galaxy just by putting them in a container of ice so they have to resort to other ways to keep it 'fresh'.
This seems like the fish was cut up before being packaged and vacuum sealed or something in order to preserve its freshness.
Well… At least it still looks like a fish fillet so I know how to handle it… It would be problematic if it looked like some weird alien thing instead.
I looked around the kitchen, "Am I allowed to use any ingredients here?"
