I much prefer fish hydrolysate to fish emulsion. Especially from a microbial perspective as a food source. We use fish hydrolysate on our veggie starts in our nursery as a foliar to give them a little boost. Also much less fish smell, though lower in N and higher in P (it's usually stabilized with phosphoric acid) than fish emulsion, it preserves the enzymatic qualities of the fish better.

My aunt doesn't use fish due to raccoons... She has had issues over the years...

I can't use fish for the same problem with pests. Raccoons, skunks and Bears are all attracted by the stink of it....
