The first time I stayed at a swanky hotel in Sweden, my Swedish co-worker said they have a huge breakfast buffet, let's meet in the dining room in the morning....  

Breakfast is my favorite meal, I would be happy eating breakfast 3 times a day... I went to bed with visions of sausage, bacon, pancakes, grits, waffles, fried eggs, etc dancing in my head...

When I walked into the dining room the next morning, it smelled like low tide...   The buffet had rotten fish on it... I'm not exaggerating, 3 different kinds of fish in various stages of decomposition.   Which I guess goes well with sour milk because they had a half a dozen different kinds of sour milk.

No bacon or sausage to be found.   They did have eggs.... not chicken eggs though, fish roe.

Was it fermented or just shit? I've heard the horror stories of surstromming, but they do eat it. I'd give it a shot but I heard it's an acquired taste.

Smoked salmon, fried fish roe (eggs), kippers are all very common. Land locked places, not so much.

Smoked Salmon for breakfast is very much a thing. Just not very much an American thing. I love it.

I was in Jamaica once with a massive hangover, and one of the breakfast items was something like spicy greens and fish.
It was amazing, and my hangover all but disappeared.

I ate brook trout for breakfast damn near every day during the summer as a kid. My Grandpa was an old game violator  from the Upper Peninsula. He could not conceive of game laws. Especially fish...they were in his damn stream and we were going to eat them. We would set up lines on cedar branches every night, and go collect the trout in the morning. Like a trapline. Brook trout and eggs brings back some awesome memories.

I lived right next to a 1st class trout stream for many years. I mean right next to, 15 ft behind my back door. I had fresh trout and eggs for breakfast every morning... well, except for the days I went without cuz I suck at casting a fly in the rain and snow. Then I moved to a lake where I had to walk 50 yards down a path to get to the water. Then it was panfish and eggs. Year round cuz ice fishing rocks. These days all the trout I can get to are stocked and taste like catfood, although the cat won't even eat it so I don't fish for them. The panfish are still good, I like the perch best... with or without eggs. We also make pickerel patties that are great with eggs. Kinda like sausage patties with eggs but better.

My grandma would occasionally fry fish for breakfast.  I remember eating it and not really wondering about it much one way or the other.

On the other hand, my mom wouldn't think of fried fish for breakfast.

I eat fish regularly for breakfast, what are you talking about OP?

Lox/Salmon



Kippers



Salmon and onions in scrambled eggs.

Crab cake on half a bagel.

Find a good British cookbook, and yes the Brits can cook.

Gravlox is freaking great for breakfast. I am making 2lb myself once or twice a month.

Whitefish salad is great for breakfast. Shrimp butter. All kind of different caviar spreads.

There are plenty of good fish breakfast variants.

Lutefisk and cheese on toast sounds gross, smells gross, and tastes gross.

LOX on a bagel is good but I'd rather have eggs, bacon, sausage, or ham and hash browns.

My question is this:

Why is fish incorporated in dishes at all, if starvation is not the issue?  Foul smelling piss marinated meat substitute and/or foul smelling piss marinated aquatic bugs can fuck right off when I have access to products from four-legged animals.

I always chop left over salmon in my eggs.....I do one complete egg, two egg whites, mushrooms, green onions and scramble this....it is good on toast or in a pita bread pocket

Sometimes I will add cheese....

Tradition.

Before refrigeration, people ate the fresh fish they caught that day and people weren’t fishing before breakfast.

Breakfast meat were cured meats like bacon, ham and sausage that could be stored.

When I was a kid, we had salt cured fish for breakfast occasionally. I don't know what kind of fish it was, we just called it salt fish.

Lobster, Crab, and Smoked Salmon are all great as Benedict style breakfasts with some hollandaise.  Smoked Salmon is good on bagels too, maybe with some cream cheese and capers?

Then in the southern fashion you have lots of seafood that could go with grits too.  

Going up north on fishing trips I’ve had fried and grilled fish for breakfast before.  It’s kind of a lot of work though for early in the morning, easier just to do some bacon and eggs or something.
