Does anyone here actually put these things on their pizza?

I've tasted them before, they are basically just fish oil and salt, but I can't see why anyone would consider this a good topping for a pizza. Seeing as we have quite a few nationalities here, is this a choice any of you make?

Additionally, on the way back from St Patty's Day celebrations yesterday the girlfriend and I stopped at the local pizza joint. They have around 30 toppings choices, and I get creative when drunk. Last night was artichoke, mushrooms, spinach and sausage. Very tasty.
 
Interestingly enough whether or not you google "St. Patty's" or "St Paddy's" the engine still only gives you results for "Saint Patrick's."
 
You using O'Google?

EDIT: Anchovies, no thanks.
 
I like anchovies on pizza though canned isn't the best. A while back I was at a restaurant specializing in fresh local sea food and the waiter talked us into trying some freshly caught local Pacific sardines. Believe it or not they were GREAT! Each fish was just under 1lb, they were grilled on a hickory wood BBQ, and served on a skewer. We just squeezed on a bit of fresh lemon juice and they made the perfect appetizer.

Even better fresh wild caught sardines are even on the Monterrey Bay Aquarium's best choices list for sustainable wild caught seafood. If you haven't tried them you really should as they're good for the environment, high in fish oil which is good for your heart, and they're very tasty.
 
Seafood on pizza can be really good (I love tuna, and shrimp can be okay), but I'm not crazy about Anchovies.
 
I will never eat a pizza with anchovies, olives, raw egg, or pineapple on it. (Yes, all those have been served to me at some point)

My favourite pizza is thin crust, extra sauce, chicken, tomato, onion, garlic. If done right, it is the best pizza you can ask for
 
I will eat a pizza with anchovies, olives, or pineapple on it but not raw egg. Cooked egg is good.
The worst pizza i have had was at Heathrow
The best in Macedonia in a place off Jan Sandanski in Skopje but the Chef has changed and its not as good anymore
 
The first pizza I've ever seen/tried in my life had a raw egg right in the middle. I was in a German immigration camp, my family had been living in immigration camps for a year; we were taken out to a semi-fancy Italian restaurant by a relative.

I tried that pizza and it was gross - it turned me off pizza for years.
