Fish Tales is a performance series featuring scientists, writers, poets and comedians telling 8-minute stories all around one theme: fish! These stories are sometimes funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes terrifying, but always engaging. Join us in our mutual love of stories about the ocean, rivers and streams—and the fascinating fish and folks that call them home.
