Before the batter was added they said the fillets "regarde comme an sac au lait.", looked like a bag of milk.

The other is about the cork going down. An old story says that when the cork went under the old Cajuns said, "Ca a calle" which means "It sank.

Don't know if they are true but I love the old stories.
