Did someone say 'Century-old fish'?

[Afronaut]

Looks like it has been already cooked! ;)

[rbosque]

I wonder if the meat is tough?

[billhilly]

Reminds me of the story of the old fisherman who stumbles on an isolated saloon. Going inside, he sees an ageless barmaid, and he askes if she has any Old Taylor Whiskey. She replied, with some enthusiasm, “Mister, we have both.”

The belly was large," NOAA researcher Paul Spencer told the Associated Press. "The ovaries were full of developing embryos.

Why didn't they throw it back (after measuring it)?

[I see my hands]

"That's the exact same tune as Cocker Spaniel Blue's"

A cursory search (Google, iTunes, Napster) turns up no evidence of Cocker Spaniel Blues.

RFB is a standard riff that's been arranged, rearranged, and lyricized lots. I think, lol.

[Grut]

have you ever tried lutefisk?

Hey, I'm Norwegian on one side and English on the other. I could have lutefisk with Marmite! But I think I won't.

to bad they killed it before asking if the water is getting warmer due to global warming

Oops... I just wrote "Cocker Spaniel Blues" and may not have remembered to have published. I'm now working on "Down Home Artichoke Blues"... Stay tuned.

Well, fish have healthy, low cholesterol diets. They eat fish.

It sure looks like what we used to call Red Snappers, off the Oregon coast.

Back then, it was always good to catch a small Red Snapper to use as live bait to catch extremely large Lingcod.

As for Rockfish, we used to call those things democrats.

When she taps you on the shoulder for relations

"How do you eat fish?"

"Spread its fins and...(never mind)."

Probably tastes like fish...

[andysandmikesmom]

It is a shortraker rockfish...click the link, there is a pick of three men, each one holding a fish, that looks exactly like the one in the pic on this thread....

Shortraker rockfish is what it is...thanks, Strategerist, for the correct information...

What did the blind man say when he walked by the fish market?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

I’ve caught that exact same fish in the Persian Gulf, the S China Sea, the South tip of Korea, and offshore near the Warri River of Nigeria.....there are also “green snapper”. I’m sure this fish is cosmopolitan.

ok

[Larry Lucido]

“Howdy, ma’am.”

[Secret Agent Man]

oboy, PETA will have a friggin field day on this. “Christians kill pregnant fish full of hundreds of pre-born fishies.”

YOu see, they’re only fish, birds, whatever, before they are born when it’s every other animal except a person.
