Mackerel Puns

It’s a different kettle of fish altogether.

A smack-erel

Sounded fine to me though...

Holy mackerel!

Holy mackerel!

They caught the guy. When he was asked why he did it, he told the cops that it was "just for the halibut."

This one be a little played out, but my Aunt, dad and I were dining out, and my Aunt ordered a shrimp salad, the waiter brings it out, and it's huge.

My dad: "Holy mackerel!" My aunt and I simultaneously: "No! It's shrimp!" My dad: " Hey! That's my job!"

I was telling my dad about my JAWS essay that is due in a couple of days and this is the conversation that followed.

Me: I'm writing out my JAWS essay.

Dad: Ok sounds a bit fishy.

Me:That's a terrible joke.

Dad: Hook line and sinker

ME: Stahp. I can't handle the dad jokes anymore.

Dad: Holy mackerel he's growing up

Me: You seriously can't make anymore up.

Dad: I'm having a whale of a time.

Me: Really?

Dad: Yes

I'm a server at a local restaurant. A couple came in and both of them ordered fish and chips. As I'm bringing it out to them, the wife says, "Holy mackerel, that's a lot of food!" I responded with, "Actually, we use cod instead, but it's delicious nonetheless." They didn't realize what happened until I scurried away giggling.

I bring the dad his oyster dinner.

His wife yells, "holy mackerel!"

He says, "no honey, they're oysters."

My dad and I were fishing the river across from the church when a huge group of people came out and started getting baptised in the water just a few yards downriver. Without skipping a beat he says "maybe now we will catch a holy mackerel."

Fellow aquarium goer: HOLY MACKEREL!! Me: no no, that's a shark.

We were at a Sushi restaurant and I was browsing reddit and saw an astonishing post and I said: "Holy..." My dad pointed at his dish and said: "Mackerel, there some right here."
