Fish Scale

Fish Scale is a strain name that sparks the imagination. Does it have shiny, silvery nugs? Is there a fishy aroma? And though this line of questioning could continue long past 4:20, Fish Scale is the name of two very different strains. Neither of which have silver-looking buds or smell of fishwiches.

We'll start with Fish Scale by Cookies Fam Genetics. An indica-dominant hybrid of Gelatti x The Menthol, it's a THC-heavy cannabis strain with sweet, fruity undertones and a mint tea finish. When The Menthol is paired with Gelatti, itself a cross of the popular strains Gelato and Biscotti, it makes for a reportedly sleepy and soothing high, best suited for experienced users.

Next up is Fish Scale (or Fish Scales) by Shoreline Genetics. A sativa-leaning backcross of East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD) x [ECSD x Crippy]. ECSD, a strain which merely breaking open a nug can intoxicate a crowded room, actually makes up more than most of Fish Scale genetics, as Crippy itself is a cross of ECSD x OG Kush.

Whichever Fish Scale you score, proceed with patience. Though their effects lean in opposite directions, they're both typically strong strains best enjoyed at a measured pace.
