Fish meal?

Have you guys ever used fish meal?  Any good?  I found some super stanky fish meal in a box that was marked 1/2 off and bought it.  Couldn't resist once I smelled it.  I mixed it with some blood meal in water and fed it to my plants today as a mid month feeding.  We'll see how they like it.
 
I used to use regular bone meal but because of it's (very unlikely to happen) ability to pass on a human version of "mad cow disease" I switched to fish bone meal.  I usually add a small amount a planting followed by another dose around flower budding time.
 
Yeah, stinky stuff! 
 
I use fish emulsion....bone meal .....sulfur.... and occassiinally blood meal ..... plants producing pods and they size of plant keeps getting bigger.... its w hat worked for me
 
Thanks,  just wondering if it was a waste of money.  I lived near a fish meal plant in AK and it stuuu-uunk!!! Just never heard of being used for peppers.
