I don't know though if Marilyn would be happy to be compared to a fish, not even with this special fish.

it's an unusual metaphor to be sure, but one that evokes Scott's associating Marilyn with water imagery and coldness and the silvery gown she wore. She brings to his subconscious mind the fish aspect of the mermaid - the eternal Siren of Silver Screen goddesses and the sea. In Freudian terms, water symbolizes sexuality.
