Comment from Bill Schott
This eighty-word flash fiction story, We Prefer Cod-y Fried, has the proper word count and brings us to the fish market for some fun dialogue and a few hints on how to best prepare one's cod fish. Fun.

Fun is good. Glad we served you some. Cod is good, but a nice crust can make it great. Fish stew? Not yet. I'm only 71. Have a great American 4th!

Si, you are el correcto, amigo! The reason that I play golf but I do not fish: on the rare occasion I get a birdie, I don't have to clean it. Thanks for the review and have a great 4th!

I love the little joke at the beginning
'so the non-Mass are en masse'. Very poetic and fun. I also love the Bostonian accent added in. You've made this quite a fun and lively setting with just 80 words! Good luck in the contest. xo

Making you smile makes my day! Massachusetts is a fun place with fun people and I am lucky to be regular of the non-Mass visitors. I pahk my ah-v he-ah almost every summah. My late mother-in-law was a lovely Massachusetts lady who nevah used an "r" even in a moment of anger. BTW, I love the steamahs. Thanks from Exit 3 near the Cape. Happy 4th!

Hahaha! Same to you! xo

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This story has a catchy beginning, good plot development, fair climax and a resolved ending; shouting comes with the slogan in Cod we crust, nothing fishy; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Write-Inspire --DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Janilou
Very cute flash fiction. Just one minor issue I saw.
A Vikings shirted lady offered, "we boil cod with potatoes and leeks making a nice soup."
This should read:
A Vikings shirted lady offered, "We boil cod with potatoes and leeks making a nice soup."
That's the only thing I saw in need of correction.
All the best in the Writing Prompt vote!

You did a lot with just 80 words, you were able to put a beginning, middle, and end in it. Along with a plot and setting, you made a complete story within the contest requirements. Good luck in the contest.

Wow! Nice review! Thanks. If you are on the South Island, its a bit cold for fishin' for me, but never too cold for a pub and a pint and a chat about fishin'. Please tell Akaroa I love her and miss her...
-
I'm center of the North island Taupo. Don't worry friend, Akaroa knows : )) I'm sure you'll be back, someday...
Comment from LisaMay
I like your story for its clever word play and your final line is delicious... mainly because that is how I like fish done. But now I am hungry for all the other ways to prepare it, the soup too even though i don't live in a rest home!

What wine would you select to compliment the "Cod au leeky potato"? Please bring my bed pan... Thanks for your fun review!
-
To hell with the bed pan. Piss out the window! Grow old disgracefully. And I'll have a keg of beer please. (More to piss out the window, except I am a chick and that might be a bit hard.)
-
Let's just forget the fish and finish the keg! Great fun, but I'm too old for chicks who drink kegs and...
-
I promise to behave. You can have the beer. It makes me burp too much anyway.
