[Sca-cooks] Big fish

[Micheal]

 All I can say is "Oh look a feast for a couple of hundred, wonder where we 
will get the wine, and lemons. Have to wonder how many dishes you could do 
with one of those. Side dishes anyone. Wonder if dancing ladies and lords 
coming forth would be a good idea or not "  Pretty much has to be a whale or 
filter shark doesn`t it. Don`t know of any other kind that could get that 
big myself.
