46. Okay, I need a pic for that. Are they "fresh red snappers"?

The question dates back to the mid 70's when my friends and I were at a strip mall. There was a fancy restaurant in mall and this REALLY attractive young woman in a miniskirt (too old to even consider any of us, but that basically means 19) came out and wrote the special on the a-frame chalk board out front on the floor - "FRESH RED SNAPPER" with her rather miniscule hinter region pointing directly at us. We all completely lost it.

My wife won't let me get one of those (or truck nutz for that matter), but I'd still like to see the link. There's no way in HELL I'm going to run a Google search on "snapper". There won't be any water turtles for at least 30 pages of results.
