Don’t Call me Yankee and Fry that Fish.
Fish Fry
By Johnny B. Wilson
There’s a lot of fine folks over in Japan,
Build cars and cameras just as fast as they can.
…And they’re pretty polite, but I sure do wish,
Somebody would show ’em how to cook a fish.
CHORUS
Get the skillet good and greasy, get the grease good and hot
Roll ’em in some corn meal, pop ’em in the pot.
Serve ’em up with hush puppies, and man, oh man,
You got a fish fry –a good old down home Southern country cookin’ fish fry.
It was the durndest thing that I ever saw,
I ordered me a fish and they brought it to me raw,
And they wouldn’t understand, though I tried and tried
To tell ’em that I really would of rather had it fried.
CHORUS
Well the waitress was a beauty from down in Yokohama,
Was a dark-haired geisha and a red-hot momma.
She said, “Yankee-san, what is your wish?”
I said, “Don’t call me Yankee, and cook that fish!”
CHORUS
Now eatin’ raw fish, there’s nothing wrong with that,
As long as you’re an eagle, or as long as you’re a cat,
But Kentuckians got honor, Bald Knobbers got pride,
And if we eat a fish, we want it fried.
It is Friday, after all.
I had fish tacos for lunch. (fish sticks, corn tortillas, cabbage, lemon juice and a mayo/sour cream sauce – CHEAP and delicios)
Don’t Call Me Yankee….
And All the good people down in Tennessee dig the Barefoot Jerry and the CDB….
And the joy is Gulf fish is now self basting….
Ya Know there are 75 Million In the Southern States of America, and only 5 million Scots in Scotland and yet I am polite enough to call a Scot a Scot and not Pommie Bastard.
I would think they could be polite enough not to call me Yankee.
Please remain standing for Our National anthem….
Mmmmmmmm, gotta love them hush puppies for sure. 😀
That is really good! (fishy too!) You need some stomping fiddle music to go with that, a yeehah and some country dancing :love:
Now I want popcorn shrimp. :entertained: If I remember my American History, the civil war was between the Yankess (North) and Confederates (South). And Texas was a supply state according to wikepedia.
Lol. I guess you either love the raw fish, or it’s just not up your ally. I happen to enjoy it, but of course sometimes, there’s nothing better than the good ole fashioned beer battered fish fry.
I’ve never had fish tacos. I do like tilapia in teriyaki. And Japanese salmon patties.
This is just too precious!!! And I so agree.
I tried sushi once.
Just to say I did it.
I’ll never be that hungry again……….. 😛 😆
I love your blogs!!!
