A fishwife, fish-fag or fishlass is a woman who sells fish. In this context, the word wife means woman rather than married woman. This usage stems from Old Englishwif (woman) and is similar to the GermanWeib, also meaning "woman" (nowadays rarely used and usually in a pejorative sense).
Often the wives and daughters of fishermen, fishwives were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed, as noted in the expression, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.
Fishwives in fishing villages such as Cullercoats and Newhaven were noted for their beauty, hardiness and industry and were celebrated by artists and royalty.
Billingsgate
London's traditional fish market was frequented by such types who were known as "the wives of Billingsgate". "They dressed in strong 'stuff' gowns and quilted petticoats; their hair, caps and bonnets were flattened into one indistinguishable mass upon their heads. ... They smoked small pipes of tobacco, took snuff, drank gin and were known for their colourful language."
Fishwife was a punk rock band from San Diego, California, which existed from 1990 to 1993. Consisting of Ryan Foxe (vocals), Matt Ohlin (bass guitar), Gar Wood (guitar), and Chris Prescott (drums), the group was known for its dissonant mathcore sound characteristic of the San Diego punk scene of the time, their often humorous lyrics, and for Foxe's wild onstage antics. Fishwife broke up in 1993 when Ryan Foxe moved to New York City to pursue school. Prescott, Ohlin, and Wood subsequently formed the band Tanner, and Ryan Foxe later sang in the garage rock group the Let Downs.

Mester Stoorworm, he is the biggest of his race Father of evil deep in the sea Hungry hunter on the coast The kingdom is in danger now They serve and sacrifice with meat Princess is the price of peace To high to pay, they looked for an brave As no hero could be found An heavy decision from the crowned Armed with Odins sword Sikkersnapper The king prepared to kill stoorworm Waiting in a boat to fight In last minute a true hero with a heart of a brave arrived Assipattle, the seventh son of a farm His family knows him as a fool Laughing loud about his dream Say, he's a good-for-nothing clown But the boy never lost his faith His weapon a smoldering peat from his hearth Arrived with a boat and a knife swept by a wave into stoorworms mouth Not afraid in the body of hell He cut a hole into the liver Fired the wound with his smoldering peat returned as the winner and new king Assipattle killed Mester Stoorworm, protected the kingdom, married the princess, success in person!
