Funny Fish Puns

A collection of fish puns.  A shoal of fishy tales.  A school of fish jokes.

This page contains original aquatic puns and some old ones too.

If we keep a sense of porpoise it should be a whale of a time.

Let's cast our nets down into the deep blue sea and see what the catch of the day looks like.
Technical note.  Although naturalists will tell you fish and mammals are different species this page is inclusive.  If it swims, or looks like a fish if you squint a bit, it is on this page.

So stop any carping, get on your pike and treat yourself for the sheer halibut.

Let's dive into this fine kettle of fish puns.
