Gurgling Cod, anyone?

There was a thread a while ago that discussed the merits (or lack thereof) of The Gurgling Cod. As a reluctant New England transplant, I have kept my subscription to Yankee Magazine. I was just thumbing through the issue that came yesterday and what do I find? An article devoted to said piece of art!!

My parents had one and the grand kids loved that thing. They would all laugh like hyenas every single time. We looked for it when we cleaned out my parents’ condo but I think they gave it away to a friend who had a new batch of grandchildren.

For those who are curious:

I love the Gurgling Cod. It is my go-to gift, especially for “non-traditional” weddings.

Too funny! I had never heard of this until we visited my husband’s sister in Daytona Beach recently. She had five or six already, and said she wanted another one of a certain color. Since she had hosted us for a week and let us use her car for a second week, I went online immediately and ordered it for her. :slight_smile:

Literally never heard of this before!

Prior to that older CC thread mentioned by the OP, I have never heard of this novelty item :laughing:

Huh, I had no idea this was a “thing” and got one as a gift back when we were married I think.

Here is mine, who has a front and center spot in my China cabinet. We use it any time we have company for dinner.

I love that you display them!

The first born insisted on having one on her wedding gift registry, over the objections of her intended!

Here’s mine, though I don’t think it’s a cod specifically. It gurgles.
