Dear Listers,
Catfish is an excellent fish. We all know that but, there is still the =
derogatory connotation. Does anybody know of other names for catfish =
that sound perhaps a bit more inviting to the majority of the people out =
there? We are particularly interested in finding another name for =
catfish for England and Germany. In Germany, the catfish is generally =
known as "Wels". As an example: in England, "shark" for fish & chips is =
referred to as "huss" and "rock salmon" has absolutely nothing to do =
with salmon. In Germany, "Schillerlocken" have nothing to do with Mr. =
Schiller's locks, a verbatim translation. Is it possible to introduce =
the catfish under a completely different name? Existing or made up? =20
