How do you say, "is this fish?" in German?

Hello from cold and wet Germany. As you know (see the post below) we are away from our beautiful - green - Ireland for a bit. We are here in Germany for a series of meetings with our company. To be honest with you we are not getting to do any real sightseeing... unless you count the local restaurants. For this non-German speaking American it can be quite an adventure. Take tonight for instance... We went out to eat with a group of co-workers. The very very nice - but stern looking - waitress met us at the door and ushered us (the group of loud Americans) quickly to our table and told us to please sit down. She gave us our menus and left. We all sat there in silence trying to use the few pictures on the menu to decipher what each dish was... To be honest with you I really felt like just putting my finger on a random dish on a random page. It would not have made much of a difference - because I could not be sure what anything was... Why did I not buy a pocket dictionary and bring it with me? Mental note: Buy one... And bring it next time. I ended up settling on one of the dishes next to the picture of the fish. In the end- Success! Salmon! Dee and I are wrapping up a few things here in the office tonight & then we are headed back to watch CNN - our only English speaking TV channel. Until the next post...
