• Amberjack:

One o’ these days I’m going to hang up me fishin’ pole and start me own brewery, and I’m going to name me brew amberjack.

• Black seabass:

The black seabass be a more purpley color in me personal opinion, but it wasn’ me what named it.

• Blue grouper:

These be uncommon because most fishermen mistake them for other fish ’cause they ain’t actually blue. This be thar natural defense.

• Bluefish:

If ye be trying ta remember where to fish for bluefish, jus’ remember the big blue spot on their fin that looks like a ship.

• Bonefish:

This fish be havin lots o’ bones. Like double the normal amount. I seen some that couldn’t even move!

• Bonito:

Bonito be great when smoked and dried. Tis a favorite of Tokuno.

• Cape cod:

This fish be found off the cape. Way off the cape. Like in the middle o’ the sea.

• Captain snook:

Whatever sun baked swab named this poor devil cap’n snook should be keel hauled! I knew Cap’n Snook, this be no Cap’n Snook.

• Cobia:

Best to not be confusin’ the cobia with the cobra, the cobra be requiring a totally different kind o’ bait.

• Gray snapper:

Old sailors say that many generations ago the gray snapper used to be the blonde snapper.

• Haddock:

When tha’ wind’s in yar hair, the salt’s on yar lips and yar hook’s wrapped around yar pole, the haddock be thar.

• Mahi mahi:

They say the most persuasive argument is repetition. This might explain why mahi mahi be so popular.

• Red drum:

The red drum is thus named because o’ the sound it makes when you thump it on the head.

• Red grouper:

Red grouper be extra good with a dolop o’ Madam Beamy’s hot sauce.

• Red Snook:

This fish be found anywhere the rest o’ the fish in this handbook be found.

• Shad:

The shad be one o’ me personal favorite deep see uncommon fish.

• Tarpon:

This fella once told me the word ‘Tarpon’ be derived from the word ‘Tarpaulin’ but I’s pretty sure he was insane.

• Yellowfin tuna:

The best thing about tuna is that it tastes like chicken that was eaten by a fish.
