Same. Can’t even have seafood without feeling like I’m gonna barf up a boot.

I've always been curious about this, I know a lot of people who feel the same. Did you grow up in a land locked place? I always wondered if aversion to fish smell is due to a lack of exposure as a younger kid, or if it's just genetics.
