Grand-Ole Fishwrapper Stories Volume 1

The title of our publication, The Fishwrapper, is derived from an old practice of wrapping fish in newspaper. Over time, the term fishwrapper caught hold as a slant toward the newspaper itself, indicating that it was good enough for wrapping fish but not much else. A comment like, “I bet you saw that in the fishwrapper” meant, “I doubt what you are saying is fact”. To us, the moniker indicates good humor and sensible stories with a moral. We tell our readers if they want to wrap fish in The Fishwrapper when they’re finished reading it, go right ahead. Most people reject that idea, and choose rather to pass it along to
someone else.
