Killifish

I've got a dish of killifish I wish to eat that silly fish Baked, or fried in peanut oil Roasted, dried, or let to boil. Make me a star-gazy pie Take me to the Catfish Fry Lead me to the China Sea Feed me hermit crabs and brie. Help me out with rainbow trout Salt and thyme and wedge of lime Filet of sole, or snapper red, Served up whole, or just the head. Meals of eels caught on reels You're the star with caviar Butter clams served with yams Can't say no to salmon roe. Tuna eyes baked in pies Oh so daring pickled herring In the lurch for snails and perch Ring the bells for cockle shells. Canned sardines on toast with greens Sturgeon, sprat, and stuff like that Grouper, pike, that's what I like Smelt and bream that make me dream. Cajun shrimp for my new pimp Lutefisk and lobster bisque Flying squid and yellowfin Silver carp and capelin. Give to me a plate of oyster Eat them raw, that way they're moister Tilapia and tiger prawn Eat them 'til my hunger's gone. Hake or krill would be a thrill Bass and shad will make me glad Tasty crappie makes happy Give a nod to Greenland cod Oo! I'd like a northern pike Barramundi served on Sunday Grouper, alligator gar, Halibut or no cigar. Amberjack atop hardtack Pan-fried kipper for the skipper Mackerel, tasty as hell, Lox and mullet down the gullet. Kokanee or marlin blue Arowana, bowfin too Bring to me your soups and stews Sing for me the dogfish blues.
