I heard about "Duck with Orange" -actually tried it and it was really good-, I like strange stuff in food especially "fancy kind-of-strange", but my wildest experience in reach would be "cooking my own steak in restaurant", but I'll go for chocolate fish, totally.
BTW; ever tried "Konafa" or "Baqlawa" ?
I've tried both - they're a little too sweet for my taste.
For the record, 'chocolate fish' is a candy - a fish-shaped bit of marshmallow covered in chocolate. No actual fish are harmed in the making of this treat.

That's the problem of Arabic candy: too much sugar. A regular Konafa gets covered with "Sheera" which is pure liquid sugar, personally I only eat small bits of them.
There are worse sugary monsters in the Arabic kitchen; though.
I always thought that marshmallow is tasteless -I ate it raw; never cooked it on fire -_- -; the absence of real fish from "the chocolate fish" make it sound better for me :p
