Yeah, makes me feel like small fry :-)

But apart from the Swimming Upstream to Spawn song (Hold On, I'm Coming 
by Salmon Dave), I'm all out of Salmonidae puns.

And I used to have lox :-(

Oh no, wait, there goes that fish with the fatwa against him - what's 
his name? Oh yes, Salmon Rushdie...

And that toxic lady jazz singer, Salmonella Fitzgerald....

 From Wikipedia, I find:-

"In Irish mythology, a creature called the Salmon of Wisdom plays key 
role in the tale known as The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn. The Salmon will 
grant powers of knowledge to whoever eats it, and has been sought by the 
poet Finn Eces for seven years. Finally Finn Eces catches the fish and 
gives it to his young pupil, Fionn mac Cumhaill, to prepare it for him. 
However, Fionn burns his thumb on the salmon's juices, and he 
instinctively puts it in his mouth. As such, he inadvertently gains the 
Salmon's wisdom."

You can't help thinking, though, that he had heard someone speak of the 
'wisdom of Solomon',  and being slightly deaf....
