    Which fish can perform operations?
    A Sturgeon!
    Where do little fishes go every morning?
    To plaice school!
    What fish goes up the river at 100mph?
    A motor pike!
    How could the dolphin afford to buy a house?
    He prawned everything!
    1st kipper: ‘Smoking’s bad for you’
    2nd kipper: ‘It’s OK, I’ve been cured’
    What kind of fish is useful in freezing weather?
    Skate!
    What do you call a fish with no eyes?
    Fsh!
    What lives in the ocean, is grouchy and hates neighbours?
    A hermit crab!
    What do you get from a bad-tempered shark?
    As far away as possible!
    Why did the whale cross the road?
    To get to the other tide!

    I wasn’t a skilled enough angler to catch a Striper, so I had to take my photo with a Blue Fish, which is the easiest fish in the Atlantic to catch.
