People love to eat fermented mullet fish, even though the Egyptian government warns them to avoid it

Fish rapidly spoils, or goes rotten, unless some method is applied to stop the bacteria that produce the spoilage. Fermentation is a method which attacks the ability of microbials to spoil fish.

Hmm, seems to me fermentation is simply controlled spoilage. And I like fermented foods like pickled herring and kimchi!
