Your fish are just use to the taste of the SF Bay Brand, nothing more. The only thing you have in your first recipe that's different than I've ever used is paprika, but I'm sure I've seen others here use that. I've never made two batches exactly alike, it depends in part what I have around. If there aren't any really ripe bananas in the house on heart making day the batch usually doesn't get any. If I've got some food samples laying around since the last time I made heart in they go. My biggest suggestion would be to not offer them anything else for a week, they'll come around.
