RE: Red Fish: Now Is The Perfect Opportunity To Become A Minnow
We seriously need to start calling the 'minnow' class as a bigger and cooler fish. Tuna or swordfish for example.

I've long though this. Just about the only postive thing I can say about the label 'minnow' is that it sounds better than 'plankton'.\n\nNot sure about 'Tuna'... it just conjures up images of 4 tins on special in Sainsburys. \n\nThis is a great idea for a little steem compeition!

I like Tuna because they're a big predatory fish that fit the size range just below dolphins, and everyone knows them. We could also do seals or sealions. Any swimming sea life is fair game, doesn't have to be fish/cetacean IMO. It just has to fit the right size profile and not sound dumb.
Fair point... I just lack the cultural sophistication to see past the tins!\n\nOn that basis Tuna makes sense.

If only the Normans had eaten Tuna, we'd have a different word for the meat and the living animal, à la beef/cattle, pork/pig.
