Fish puns.

Sporky

Not a moan; I'm just wondering why any thread mentioning fish descends into punnery so quickly.

Non-pun answers particularly welcome.

I agree Sporky ,  it was a question about a production technique that deserved a serious response .

There’s a time and plaice for silly responses and that wasn’t it

I really flounder in threads like this so I think I'll play some bass instead - I have one fitted with a D-Tuna.  Or I could listen to Julian Bream, some cod-reggae or Papa Roach.

Don't know about everyone else but I had a whale of a time reading them all.

As I say, not a moan at all - I like puns. 

Just wondering why they're so often fish related.

Does it happen everywhere or is it just this grouper people?

This won't be helpful, but I once did a quiz music round where the tracks and/or artists had a fish related link/pun. We had:

1. We gotta get outta this Plaice
2. I'm a Sole Man, by Salmon Dave
3. All About the Bass
4. Wutherring Heights, by Skate Bush
5. Monterey (sounds like Manta Ray) by Sinatra
6. American Tuna by Paul Simon
7. Searching (sounds like Sea Urchin) by China Black
8. Cod Only Knows
9. If I were a Carp-enter
10. That's a-moray

In fact for the last one I sang for them "When that moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore. When the fish on your reel is really an eel, that's a moray" which they liked very much

I can see the scale of the problem now.

It's something you learn in school I think

I favour "When an eel has a maw with a pharyngeal jaw, that's a moray".

You could probably add 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' by Gil Scott Heron to that list.

I genuinely think in that other thread the OP titled it 'Fish Panning' and some people just misread it. Maybe.
