From that priest, I was expecting Vodka...
Also, the Tales Collectors are not spies: they THINK they are spies, when in reality they are glorified bards for the Queen's and the Emperor's entertainment...

I sonder if that catfish-like thing is flat out bad tasting because isekai or if they just haven't tried deep frying.

Regular catfish taste super good fried or grilled kabayaki style. There are some Japanese restaurants here use them as eel replacement for a more localised flavour.

They ate the liver, not the flesh itself. Liver can be very bitter even with preparation, so I'm not surprised it tasted bad to them.

if you ask 10 different people about what's the best way to cook potato, you might get 10 different answers. and all of them can be the correct answer
That means, it is not Poland. In Poland, 10 people can think of 20 different potato dishes (some liquid...)
Potatoes are KING!

I dont know in Japanese cuisine, but catfish is a staple on Javanese (Indonesian) cuisine. You can see lot of immigrated Javanese open night stall specialized on catfish cuisine

The priest said that "some fish" just can't be eaten, so it sounded like they tried the whole fish and it turned out to taste weird. Maybe the translation is missing a couple of words.

Having the price of potatoes go up can be a hardship to the poor. They are after all the main beneficiaries of the cheapness of potatoes.

Well earlier in the chapter "liver" was specifically there so Imma chalk it up to the proofreader missing it too.
