whitefish (thinking of our North American Great Lakes in particular)
sailfish
(these make more sense)

Rex, re: your comment on this tuna-topic at breakfast -- I sometimes crave a tuna (tuna-fish, tuna salad, tuna-fish salad, take your pick) sandwich for breakfast. Love that protein kick!

Not sure about the cottage cheese option, but I have been known to make it with curry powder and chopped apples...

I wonder how many other people actually eat breakfast while surfing at this site?

from Kip Addota:

It was April the forty-first Being a quadruple leap year I was driving in downtown Atlantis My barracuda was in the shop So I was in a rented stingray And it was overheating So I pulled into a Shell Station They said I’d blown a seal I said, “Fix the damn thing And leave my private life out of it Okay pal?” While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive But I knew the owner He used to play for the Dolphins I said “Hi Gil” You have to yell, he’s hard of herring

Gil was also down on his luck Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water I bellied up to the sandbar He poured me the usual Rusty snail, hold the grunion Shaken not stirred With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side Heavy on the mako I slipped him a fin On porpoise I was feeling good I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry’s squids For the halibut Well the place was crowded We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal What sole Tommy was rockin’ the place with a very popular tuna Salmon Chanted Evening And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers Probably there to see the bass player One of them was this cute little yellowtail And she’s giving me the eye So I figured this is my chance for a little fun You know, piece of Pisces But she said things I just couldn’t fathom She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure Boy, could she drink She drank like a . . . She drank a lot I said “What’s your sign” She said “Aquarium” I said “Great, let’s get tanked”

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait I said “Come on baby, it’ll only take a few minnows” She threw me that same old line “Not tonight, I gotta haddock” And she wasn’t kidding either Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I’d ever seen come down the pike He was covered with mussels He came over to me and said “Listen, shrimp, don’t you come trollin’ around here” What a crab This guy was steamed I could see the anchor in his eyes I turned to him, I said “A-balone, you’re just being shellfish” Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil ‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods The haddock hits me with a sucker punch I catch him with a left hook He eels over It was a fluke but there he was Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel Kelpless I said “Forget the cods Gil This guy’s gonna need a sturgeon” Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend She came over to me, she said “Hey, big boy, you’re really a game fish What’s your name” I said “Marlin”


Well, from then on we had a whale of a time I took her to dinner, I took her to dance I bought her a bouquet of flounders And then I went home with her And what did I get for my trouble A case of the clams

Sorry about that, but it had to be done!

crayfish/crawfish (a crustacean)

cuttlefish (a cephalopod mollusc)

snapfish (an online photo processor)

By the way, Di - that smelt.

Well, I would never carp about another's post.

Carp away! You won't be the sole person to flounder around in this post. Anyway, tonight we're having penne with tuna, tomato, onion and garlic sauce. Still no 'tunafish', but so it goes.

A man went to the fishmonger and bought two fish.
On the way home he discovered that he had three. How was that?

He had one before he went to the fishmonger?

No, he bought two mackerel and one smelt.

Dog fish

Cat fish

Bone fish

Puffer fish

Red fish

cold fish
dead fish

that's a good question since it didn't help Jessica figure out if it was 'tuna' or 'chicken'...

Oldie -- OUCH!!!
Travelnut -- that "is this chicken or fish" incident with Jessica was perhaps the funniest bit of reality TV I have ever seen, second only to a bit on the Man Show where a fellow actually went and had his bottom waxed to see if it really hurt, but I digress...

Don't forget Babblefish.

But, then again, it might get translated as "Forget Babblefish"

You can tune a piano, you can tune a guitar,
but you can't tuna fish!
