Hey Bob:

He probably means Le Marchand de Poissons. It is a Sidney Bechet tune  
which translates to The March of The Fish. I don't have a lead sheet  
for it, however it is a relatively simple tune which may be heard at  
(and transcribed from if necessary):

Next time you are in a French Restaurant, ask what the Poisson of the  
day is. <grin>
