If you want to tape a fish to someone's back today, just here are some fishy illustrations for you. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5EEtfoybO05iZY8lu91TBxVpJY-7YYFE3t7_khxK8NG7Fd6h-Bk5taZvfAx71YGGKerI6lyYoqGovKECk6TEgMaqB14d8_llv51_xK5gdd3eWlFkiyWPpBP6pHFQ6LXZGNm9B/s400/Tunacharlie.gif)
And so, in honor of the day, I reflected upon fish. Before living in Paris, I had no idea how many types of fish there could be on a menu. So voici ma petite contribution du jour. A glossary of fish (poisson) terms in English with translations in French and other languages. Hurrah -- now I can really read the menu without translating everything as "some white fish or other."
And, of course, Lou-Lou sends her very best. No kidding!

P.S. "Charlie the Tuna" is included because he's the "Tuna with Good Taste."
Sooo French, n'est-ce pas?
(I do think that in older versions his cap was a beret, but can't verify... Sorry, Charlie!)
I used to be able to buy little chocolate fish at the gift shop at the hospital where I worked. Can't find them anymore - but they were a fun way to treat coworkers on April 1. I am glad to see the Poisson d'avril custom survives.
