But you can put some lemon on it…..

Glad to hear it.

Many day canned .

That sounds appetizing.

Tastes fishy

For how long?

Salmon baked on a bed of fresh Basil, Sage, Rosemary, and Lemon Grass, plus some Garlic. With some caramelized lemon wedges inside and on top of the salmon. All this wrapped in aluminum foil and baked at 375 F, for 15 to 20 min.

A baked potato or two. And for this time of the year, fresh corn-on-the-cob, with lots of butter. With a nice Rhine Riesling wine.

For dessert, a fresh apple pie with vanilla ice cream. With a sweet dessert wine.

Include a nice dinner companion for conversation. And you might have the makings of a perfect dinner.

Who did he bequeath his body to?

He had it coming.

I’m about to have my Thursday’s salmon and grits. The salmon’s cold, dead and tasty.

You should have been here earlier. We had live worms.

The salmon’s name was Ella. We named the dish after her: Salmonella.

Well, it’s a start.

Wild, I hope. Farm raised just isn’t as good.

The weather is turning colder so salmon soup will be on the menu.

come to think of it, everything on the menu of the restaurants I go to is dead or soon will be. kind of depressing in a way……… nevermind I’ll have the regular with ketchup and mustard hold the onions

I would hope so ! ! ! !

Among other things.

Leftover. Ask the Fish.

If there is such a thing as genius cartooning, Shoe would be it. I can almost imagine birds in trees with all the conveniences we have. And the species of birds seem to fit their persona. Shoe looks like a crow, ideal as an editor, his employee reporter is a carrier pigeon, the waitress is a partridge, Mort is a vulture. Not sure if I have ever seen an owl in this strip, but if there is, he probably is a professor of some kind. I am sure there are sub-species too, but I am not that much into birds to know all their subs.

That shouldn’t matter to Cosmo Fishhawk.

Aren’t most birds are used to eating their salmon alive?

I believe I’ll have the dead unjugged rabbit fish instead.

I was on a cruise that stopped in Skagway, Alaska during the spawning season. There was a boy standing at the mouth of the river watching the salmon head upstream. Every so often he would reach down and pick one up out of the water with his bare hands. Then he would release it. Later we rode the train along the river. All you could see were countless numbers of fish leaping through the water.

Sam and Dave did “Soul Man”. Maybe Salmon Dead could do “Sole Man”.

As it should be.

thought she was going to say “in the pink!”

He said salmon, not sermon.

In restaurants “dead” is “not servable”, he should try grilled cheese…

A start.

ba dum tss

My favorite kind.

there’s something fishy about that salmon…

The salmon and Franco? That can’t be a coincidence—too fishy.

Lightly killed

I think Shoe was hoping it wasn’t

So, not like the Japanese place a number of years back that served the fish still alive and called it “Dancing Dinner”.
