Hilarious!
I remember now a SNL routine with Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest
playing aged ballplayers from the old Negro League. They talked about this
one successful promotion: Smelt Night. Bring a smelt, get a smelt free!
During the seventh inning stretch a huge pan was set up in centerfield and
people started frying up the smelt. The aroma was so great it was hard to
concentrate on the game.

Hey, what was that fish we ate the Portuguese restaurant you took us to. I
know it wasn't smelt, but it sure was delish!
