"For those who haven't heard from Fish since he left Marillion, you finally have a chance to hear what he has been working on for the last ten yeas. For those of you who haven't heard of Fish at all, Kettle Of Fish offers a good introduction to an ideal-driven Scottish singer/songwriter with progressive rock roots.His lyrics compare favourably with Neil Peart of Rush, Roger Waters, and (when he lightens up) Ray Davies of The Kinks. As a bonus to this package, two new songs are added."Chasing Miss Pretty," is a fun song that deserves to be added to the list of summer anthems blaring from car stereos. Infatuation made fun of, a la Ray Davies. A good Top 40 sounding track."Mr. Buttons," is topical Fish, exploring the age of computer crime. The song's title is the name of a harmless (?) hacker. This is a definite rock song, sure to go well in concert."

Average collection of above-average material

"Not the best sampling of Fish's post-Marillion work, and the boring, middle-of-the-road new tracks are not at all indicative of the direction he's taking with his upcoming _Raingods With Zippos_. But for someone who's never heard Fish before, this is the best start - an inexpensive collection of singles. But please don't judge him by "Chasing Miss Pretty"..."

Fish's best post-Marillion work!!!

"Kettle of Fish is a singles collection which includes Fish's best post-Marillion work including my favorites - Just Good Friends, Gentleman's Excuse Me, and Internal Exile. A must have if your a 'freak'. The remastering/recording is excellent too."
