Well, you know, eating a lot of eulachons *can* make a person sick.
Example, my gr'gr'grandfather. According to the info I have, it was all
they had to eat at Fort Langley for a short time period in spring of
1830, and it made him sick enough that the next day he got up the face of
the head guy and demanded a better quality and selection of food.

For what it's worth.
