Certainly outdated as far as Dover sole (here in U.S.) -- according to a
show I saw the other day, Dover sole is impossible to find here in the U.S.
Wonder if it is costly/rare in Europe/Britain?

The last piece of Dover sole I had was on my 40th birthday at a famous
restaurant in San Francisco -- I remember it well - champagne sauce.

Thanks for the lyrics, I enjoyed them.
