Here in the South, a mess of anything is enough to feed however many folks are comin to eat. We say it for fish, turnip greens, okra, and fried potatoes.

A 'mess' of fish is just enough to cook for dinner and everyone will get some. It is not a set number, that I know of. Been around fishermen a while....and I fish.
