Downtime:

I too have a bit of a skin affliction that is fish-related. While it's not a true allergy, prolonged or excessive contact with fish slime causes my hands to exfoliate in sheets. A few days of good fishing will have me peeling away layers of skin for the next several weeks!

Since abstinence is not a choice, I have started wearing latex surgical gloves to limit my exposure. The only time it really sucks is when the weather gets hot.... latex does not breathe.

Give the gloves a try.
