A fine nutritious fish is a mackerel. Calling it "holy" is OK for Kingfish but is going too far for me

The Kingfish or King Mackerel is certainly more deserving of the phrase but I'm lyrically generous.

Thanks. My reference was actually to a character on an American comedy show of the early 1950s who was called Kingfish who was always saying "Holy Mackerel" when something happened that he wasn't expecting. It's probably an expression that is hardly ever said now even in the U.S. I threw it in on the chance that there were some members in the U.S. or U.K. who looked at the photo who remembered the series. They like me have to be so old that they are much closer to the "grim reaper than is comfortable

Okay, Kingfish is a bit before my time but I do remember Amos & Andy.

Yes Kingfish was in it. In fact he was seen more often than Amos despite the latter's name appearing in the title of the show
