That's what happens when you don't wash your hands!
The Fish Fry was two weeks ago. Did it take 2 weeks for the symptoms to develop?
A fish fry on Delaware Ave.? No thanks!
Frying up river rats?
Most likely undercooked or time temperature abuse. A possibility of cross contamination during the preperation.
Was it a VFW event ?
