DuBose Heyward's Porgy started out as a novel, was turned into a play by Heyward's wife Dorothy, and finally an opera by George Gershwin, by which it is best known. This is a scene from the play, which opened in 1927. It was a big hit, running for 367 performances.
In this scene from Act II, Scene 1, left to right: Jack Carter as Crown, Wesley Hill as Jake, A. B. Comethiere as Simon Frazier, Rose MacClendon as Serena, Richard Huey as Mingo, Frank Wilson as Porgy, unidentified actor in the background, Georgette Harvey as Maria and Evelyn Ellis as Bess.

たい焼き (taiyaki — fish-shaped grilled pancakes with filling) for my little Porgy (my little BLÅHAJ)!
たい (tai) = sea bream, porgies = part of the family of fish known as the sparidae, sometimes also commonly called sea breams.

The Common seabream (Pagrus pagrus) is a popular fish for recreational but also commercial fishing. 🐟 They start their life as females and later change sex to male. They can grow up to 75cm. We find them normally close to the seabed searching for crustaceans, molluscs and small fish to feed on.

The animals I look forward to the most when i visit aquariums are definitely bivalves and other mollusks, as those are my all time favorite marine friends. however, there is a place on the podium for the following flatfish:
this right here is peak humor. left facing? thats a summer flounder. right facing? my guy, take a guess.
I hold a special place in my heart for the freshwater mussels in the family Margaritiferidae, because when I lived in New Hampshire as a kid, I used to catch these in the lake. its rare to see them specifically in aquariums, because aquariums are mainly saltwater. (at least in New England)
as for mammals, I like the South African fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus), a type of eared seal (not true seals, as there are subtle differences) I saw these a few days ago at the aquarium in Boston.
I do feel its worth mentioning my favorite fish names, which I see occasionaly, depending on the aquarium. they are as follows: the French Grunt, the Permit fish, the Porgy, the Spot fish, the Wahoo, and the Weakfish. lovely creatures.
because of the book "twenty thousand leagues under the sea" i feel its worth mentioning that whenever i see a triggerfish i go absolutely insane. i feel the need to point out that it is indeed a triggerfish to everyone i meet. (Order of Plectognaths, sub-order of scleroderms, family ballistidae) (i say that too)
so yeah! i like fish a lot!

Incredible meal at @saigonsocialnyc with @thecakedealer @thesocialpause and @eviezeeby - really tough to choose an entree among so many delicious options. That whole fried porgy though - so uniquely flavorful. The spice mix on the crispy exterior contrasted with the tender, juicy meat underneath made this one of the best dishes I've had all year. #vietnamesefood #vietfood #vietnamese #fish #porgy #wholefish #friedfish #bunbohue #pork #bacon #porkbelly #eeeeeats #forkyeah #carnivore #🥣 #🥓 #🐖 #🐷 #🐽 #🐟 #🐠 (at Saigon Social NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClC115OOzbS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally got to taking a 全家福 (family portrait) of my *Fish Fam. a while back, posting it here for safe-keeping too.
*Technically, one of them isn't a fish, but I just think ‘Fish Fam.’ has a nice ring to it (and since the term ‘Blackfish’ can be used to describe an orca too…).
