Where did the association with Jews come from? Bastie 10:59, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

It's called the jewfish because jews could eat it. [1]

[edit] odd article

Is this a disambiugation article? If so, it needs a disambig tag. If not, it needs some categories. -- Mikeblas 23:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not really a disambiguation, because some references to the name may be inherently vague, can't be refined to a more specific article. Sardine is similar in nature. I've considered creating a new category of "fish names" for common names that do not identify any particular taxon. Stan 03:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name as offensive

I've commented out the comment about the AFS renaming of this fish. The reference link did not work, and I found nothing on their site to indicate that they were giving "official" names to fish at all. Based on the link above the name has been around since the 17th century. Eclecticology 21:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
