It is very much an acquired taste UW. It goes well on toast under avocado if you want to try another option is 12b the Modern Major General song from Pirates of Penzance?

7. Pompano is indeed a fish. It's a prized catch here in Florida and they are good to eat. I have heard them called yellow jacks.
