This episode was filmed on November 19, 1956. The fish used in this episode were real and were purchased at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco . To transport the fish, two children's-sized coffins were filled with ice and then flown down to Hollywood. Can you imagine the stench on that plane?
Why would they need stinky old fish in this episode anyway? Well, Lucy and Ethel bet Ricky and Fred that they could catch a bigger fish on their next fishing excursion. Lucy and Ethel had just been on an expensive shopping trip so they needed to win the bet. Each party wanting to win the bet, bought a huge tuna, claiming to have caught it. Things start to get pretty "fishy" and funny when the tunas are kept in the bathtubs of the Ricardo's and Mertzes' hotel rooms.
