Our third fish game is also simply called “Fish Card Game,” and comes to us shrouded in mystery, with no indication of date or publisher.  The other fish depicted are: Seahorse, Flying Fish, Surgeon Fish, Manta Ray, Tiger Shark, Ocean Sunfish, Porcupine Puffer, and Deepsea Angler.

    nice orange and green! I wonder is “Manta Ray” was an homage to “Man Ray”?

    Now here’s a synapse that hasn’t fired for a very long time. I’m not positive, but I think I played “Go Fish” with this deck as a child in the early 1970’s (Flying Fish, Manta Ray, and Seahorse give it away).

    I love the generic “fish card came.”

    I had this set when I was little; I’d love to know if I can still get a hold of it again!

    I assume it’s still in print; I got it at a toy and art shop in New Paltz. There’s no copyright or publisher on it, so I don’t know what to tell you. I guess check toy stores, or search the internet. Good luck!

    I loved these cards and had a deck when I was little! The Porcupine Puffer Fish was my favorite. Any chance you had a few more scans of the cards?
