    Was he carping on something? Where was he on the scales? Can you loan me a fin? Did he have baited breath. Sorry folks, as you can see I’m hooked.

    Not tonight. I have a haddock! (I had to say that for the halibut)

    By the way, I once worked for a Scottish-run seafood smokehouse near Philadelphia that actually made “holy mackerel.”
    I went to a South Philly fish market one day to pick up some mackerel for my company to smoke, and a wiseguy (not to be confused with a Mafiosi, also found in South Philly) asked me if it was holy.
    I told him, “Yes, it’s kosher!”

    This is probably the best compliment she’s ever given to him.

    Baited breath? Is that what you get from eating sushi?

    With a nickname like ‘Hurricane’, Hattie will probably have enough of her own problems without meddling in the personal lives of others. “Hattie, I hear your mother calling you. You need to go, now.”

    I won’t get cod making more fish jokes! Besides, that last one smelt. Someone is bound to perch you of all future references to fish. I’d yell at you myself but I don’t want you to go hard of herring. And then you’d sound kike a bitterling idiot.
    Sorry, chum. That was crappie of me.
