did you know "oblade oblada" are names of the saddled bream in
French ans Spanish? Do you think Paul McCartney knew that?

"Rape" is an odd name for a fish until you realise its "rap-ay".
We seem to sell it in the shops as "monkfish" here. But Davidson
says "angelote" is spanish for "monkfish" and "rape" is
angler-fish. The angler fish being the one with the jaw and
fishing rod
