Quote from this book

"There's certainly something about a big fish dinner that's very distinguished; even passing up any potentially gay remarks about eating fish! It's surely a changeover from eating a good piece of meat! Some characters have thrived on it; perhaps it's the novelty appeal that does it; it's for sure we all want to be different from time to time!

. . .

most important, be friendly with your butcher; it'll pay you well. Don't swish into his market and get all impatient at having to wait. Smile at the S.O.B. as you gaily ask, "How's ya meat, today, Butch?" This will often do it."
