Expert fish-taster to have her tongue insured for ?4m
A professional fish-taster nicknamed 'The Codmother' is to have her tongue insured for more than £4m.

Officials at Young's Seafood are so protective of worker Jenny Douglas's refined tastebuds they plan to splash out £32,000 a year on the unusual insurance policy.

It will mean her palate, taste buds and sense of smell will be worth more than model Heidi Klum's £1.15m pounds legs and singer Bruce Springsteen's £3.5m pounds voice.
 

The recipe sampler, from Grimsby, Lincs, tests 60 pieces of seafood each day in her job as Young's chief fish taster.

She protects her assets by avoiding spicy food, hot drinks and alcohol - all of which can reduce taste.

Jenny said: 'I love my job. I make sure our products give customers the best, freshest and tastiest fish possible.
'Even though I eat so much fish at work, I still enjoy eating fish at home too and I eat at least two meals of fish a week. Halibut and Cod are my favourites.

'However, there is one thing I really don't like and that's fish bones!'

Jenny's passion for fish comes from her grandfather, who worked as a deep sea fisherman out of Grimsby Docks
