Scholars have sometimes given the impression that the consumption of fish in the ancient world was most importantly an obsession of the wealthy and corrupt. The politics of fish-eating however is only one small part of the interaction of the Greeks and Romans with fish. The written record shows the widest engagement with fish, their variety and names, along with the cooking, preparation and processing of them. My paper shows that fish are embedded in the cooking codes of the Greeks relating to sacrifice and medicine, and that while fish are wild animals living in an element hostile to human beings, they may also be assimilated into a healthy human body because of their similarity to us. At all times taste is a crucial factor, producing both the perfectly cooked meal and the best state of health in the body—the balancing of the humours.

古代鱼类的烹饪和加工：味道和质地的问题

学者们有时给人的印象是，古代世界吃鱼最重要的是富人和腐败分子的痴迷。然而，吃鱼的政治只是希腊人和罗马人与鱼互动的一小部分。书面记录显示了对鱼类最广泛的参与，它们的种类和名称，以及它们的烹饪、准备和加工。我的论文表明，鱼被嵌入希腊人关于祭祀和医学的烹饪规范中，虽然鱼是生活在对人类敌对的元素中的野生动物，但由于它们的相似性，它们也可能被同化为健康的人体给我们。在任何时候，味觉都是一个关键因素，它可以让您烹制出完美的菜肴和最佳的身体健康状态——体液的平衡。
