The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 11, 2022

It’s the surprise of the day: blind dinner.

No flavor? It must be cod.

Did she just blow her tip?

Must be that fish Gorton’s uses in their sandwich sized fish filet that I can’t say here for some reason. Most of the frozen breaded fish is made with it.

The guest has EVERY RIGHT to know what he’s eating, m’lady! SPILL IT!

It’s carp so don’t harp.

Tofu?

If you must know the fish is plaice. So sir, could you eat your chips in plaice and quiet and then go and leave this plaice.

Amber Jack, and yes we cut around the worms.

Impossible fish?

it must be mystery flavored fish and chips. :D

I asked a Bojangles employee what kind of fish was in their sandwich & she replied “it’s Cajun!”

Something fishy is going on here, I’ll take a burger instead. At least then I’ll know what kind of fish it isn’t.

Patagonian Toothfish, also called Sea Bass.

Sheepshead.

It was yesterday’s special Brutus. Today’s all you can eat special. It’s Beware fish.

It’s Impossible Fish.

Back in the seventies, two new, competing nationwide chains (Arthur Treacher’s and H. Salt, Esq.) tried to make Fish and Chips a thing in the U.S.. The fish and chips each served were delicious to my taste buds, but within a year or two they collapsed into a single company, and then disappeared, at least from my area. Occasionally I try fish and chips from smaller, local restaurants, or from grocery stores, but there’s just no comparison.

A lot.

A guessing game?

The koi pond down the street’s fish have gone missing.

He will eat it. These two get along very well, considering.

I stopped eating tilapia when I heard they are raised under chicken pens and all they eat is chicken poo.

Probably mud cat…

the only good fish is a dead fish… no wait, that can’t be right

Sounds about right!

My bad, just thought you might care what you serve your customers.

Brutus, if you are going to eat in a place like that, I don’t’ think you want to ask too many questions about the food.

Lack of flavor tends to matter.

With malt vinegar and lemon it makes little difference. Not to mention the joy of Mushy Peas!

Carp?

She’s got a point. Unless, of course, you have an allergy to some fish like me. Red fish causes an allergic reaction to me, white fish usually doesn’t.

if you think that cod is tasty you’re probably also a fan of velveeta…

The piscine version of mystery meat. Sounds fishy to me.

Reptile, it’s what’s for dinner.
