That one's oiled and made from less-porous wood, so I think the fish juice inundation would be less marked.

I guess I should have clarified. Implicit in the notion of reuse is the limitation that one cook the same thing on the plank the second time as one does the first. The heat should be high enough on the grill that cross-contamination isn't a problem, and the smoke flavor should make any residual flavor from the first use relatively complementary. I've re-used planks and not had a problem, but YMMV.
