Sardines are pretty cheap, and exceptionally gross. On top of the smell, you can get them with the scales still on, and they have lots of tiny bones that stick to everything that touches them. They're also small, so that makes them easy to mail.

However, for sheer unparalleled wretchedness, NOTHING beats the smell of spoiled squid. Not the squid tentacles in the cans (calamari), I mean the actual cleaned pieces of flesh from the body. When it goes bad, it smells like a stray cat peed in a wet car full of rotting fish. It also exudes this disgusting liquid that isn't quite water, and is slimy and rubbery.

If I ever truly hated someone, I would send them rotten squid.
