I’m guessing a sizeable portion of the SF population don’t like the smell of fish.

True. That innuendo was even known in the early 1900s songs such as:

Rag, Mama, Rag / What’s That Smells Like Fish?
By Blind Boy Fuller

“What’s that smell like fish, mama?”
“Food, if you really want to know.”

“What’s that smell like fish, baby?”
“Food, if you really wants to know.”

“Smell like puddin’ and it ain’t no pie.
Same thing that you know you have to buy.

Make you weep and it’ll make you moan.
Same doggone thing made me leave my home.
