Just escoveitched!

Dear Editor,

Real story. I went to buy lunch and saw sliced fish on the menu. I asked to see it. The server opens the pan and the following happens:

Me: Is that snapper?

Server: Not sure (then asks the cashier), wha kinda fish this?

Cashier: Escoveitch.

Server: No, mi mean is it snapper...?

Cashier: No, escoveitch.

Server: No man, me mean if a grunt, or doctor...?

Cashier: It fry and den dem put on the things dem.

Server: Go in the kitchen and ask the chef.

(Cashier returns with a man who is not the chef)

Me: You know a wha kinda fish?

Man: Den she no tell you it fry

Server: No (then names out a million types of fish)

Cashier: Yeah, and then it escoveitch. Me no know how else fi tell you.

Me: I'll have the chicken.
