Today I was introduced to the Mimi Fish. Now…. I am not quite sure what the fish are really called. But I have deemed them The Mimi Fish.
I am pretty sure if these fish could speak, the would be Screaming Mimi’s.
You see, I wasn’t diving… or even snorkeling… when I met them. I was eating lunch on the dock… at a place called Mimi’s. Hence the name for the fish.
And let me tell you this much about these fish. They hang out in the water right by the dock. And boy oh boy do they love to eat. Mimi-Fish will gobble down anything and everything…… just like a wild school of snapping piranha. Anything..
The people who work there encourage us-vacationers to feed the fish. They hand you your leftover plate and fork… and head you toward the Screaming Mimi’s.
From my plate……, the Mimi Fish devoured leftover hamburger, pickle, salad, bread, fruit and french fries. Without blinking.
I am pretty sure hamburgers and french fries are not in the fishes’ natural dietary needs…. and probably not the best thing for them to eat. But I guess the same is true for humans, and we consume a lot of hamburgers and french fries per year.
But those little Mimi’s seemed to love their lunch more than I did. So what the heck. Let’s all just be in this little pond together. Pass the ketchup please.
