“The former. Just for the halibut.”

I vote for the red salmon.

Is the salmon farmed or free range? That’s important.

Scrod you.

What in the world are the boys doing down there?

I do not wish for the fish. I would not eat it in the chair. I would not eat it anywhere.

Does either fish have a star? Does either one have a car?

Do you have one that is fat? Do you have one with a yellow hat?

He always gets the Halibut. It’s his habit.

Okay then , what kind of salad dressing do you have? Red onion, blue cheese what do you please?

John drew that one purely for the halibut.

Dalcon’s back, but, fortunately, Bleeb is a safe distance away.

Hey, if he also had a white fish he could be a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

I’d try the salmon just for the halibut.

“Neither! She’ll have the Yink and the Gox, and I’ll have the Fox in Socks!”

i love salmon…i have it at least 3 times a week in patties and filets stuffed with crabmeat dressing.

Is that fish net covering the tables?

Meanwhile; I see an alien invasion is afoot.

Do you have oobleck sauce?

Yet another attempt doomed to failure to make Dr, Seuss ‘politically correct’.

Do you want a tip?

We pride ourselves on being a very progressive dining establishment. If you’re going to start quoting Dr. Seuss, we’ll have to ask you to leave the premises.

Okay, I THINK I’m seeing Dalcon and Argor. Where is Bleeb?

Would a Pink Salmon count as a Red Fish?

Old fish or New fish?

Are the fish fresh? Do they come from Bangladesh?

Are your fish thin? Or are they fat? I understand the Halibut is flat.

Which one has less mercury?

a fish in a dish, is that what you wish?

Bleeb is torn between observing and making a break for it as Dalcon prepares to attack!!
