What adds a whole new dimension is this description from the artist:

"When he discovered these golden fishes lined up on this newspaper, he did not imagine for a moment that they would be his school snack every time his grandmother came to babysit him. She made sure to convince her grandson of their nutritional and gustatory qualities. After a few hesitant bites, the young boy quickly agreed with her and the golden herrings became their ritual as soon as he had put his schoolbag on a chair and they were both at the kitchen table.”
