It's a saltwater white fish dish, 'finnan haddie', IIRC. Popular in the
Canadian Maritimes and sometimes here in New England.

You folks are making me hungry!
Here is a quotation attributed to Claiborne as found in Simpson's Quotations. It
reverentially paints a picture of the proper serving of finnan haddie.
Finnan haddie is the name for nicely smoked strips of haddock (related to cod fish)
but a bottom dweller living in deeper waters and growing not nearly as large as some
cod might grow (30 pounds versus 100 pounds or more).
Here is a URL to click on for that quotation. (Bartleby web site):
Good eating to all...

"Finnan" is a corruption of "Findon", the name of a fishing village near
Aberdeen, in Scotland. NSOED says of it: "a haddock cured with the smoke
of green wood, turf, or peat."

So its about a girl who invites a boy to come and eat her fish,
and then he begs her for more. Should this line be interpreted
literally, or does it have a more metaphorical meaning?
Robert Lieblich
If you want to take it literally, go right ahead. No one can stop you.
But if you have a dirty mind (which Cole Porter most certainly did),
think of something a man might be invited to eat that allegedly smells
like a fish (anchovie in particular).

songs. Then give me a list of words that rhyme with daddy, especially
those he didn't use elsewhere in the song.
