180 Fin-tastically Funny Fish Puns

ADVERTISEMENT

Keeping right on track with our promise to deliver an article dedicated to every possible topic of puns, we present the newest addition to our list - fish puns! This time we’ve scaled it down a bit and kept only a hundred and eight puns in our fin-al cut. Hopefully, this number will make you feel less like a fish out of water upon trying to read them all! At least, that was our Ghoul. See what we are doing here? We are swimmingly adding a couple more fish puns if, by any chance, the ones supplied below just aren’t su-fish-ent enough. But, enough of this nonsense, and let’s get down to bass-ness, the clever puns below.

As you can see, there are fish puns aplenty (there are basically as many of them as there are fish in the sea), and there are myriad ways to use them. From using one while fishing for compliments to eeling one into your very business email - with a bit of creativity, you can smuggle in a fish pun anywhere! And the wordplays aren’t limited to basses and marlins at all (though there’s nothing wrong with those two); there are quite a few on sunfishes, anglers, and various types of eels, too. Although, if your favorite kind of fish didn’t make it to our list, you could always come up with a pun of your own dedicated to it.

Okay, this time for reel, enough of the belletristic - it’s time for puns! So, scroll on down below to check out the silly puns, and don’t forget to vote for the ones that tickled your fins the most. Also, be sure to share this article with your fisher friends, as they might appreciate it more than you think, and suggest their own hilarious angler for these puns.
