Michele Di Menna / This piece of cod passeth understanding
March 12–March 31, 2016
Changing colours the deeper it swims The fish that tastes like fish but isn’t too fishy An easy catch. Submissively hooked pulled up and out of context. Enter the world on the surface. their silver sheen fades.
"I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it." — Edvard Grieg
John Pontius says the best way to wean customers off cod might be to change the name of Cape Cod altogether. His suggestion? Cape Dogfish.
