I miss TikiFish. - Mai Tai-

A common misconception, the Tiki Fish is not extinct. Tiki Fish are still plentiful and fairly common. Most fish shops and even major grocery chains will currently have them as July-September is Tiki Fish season.

The Tiki Fish have often been confused with the Teepee Fish which is almost completely extinct due to the popularity of Teepee Fish oil in the 19th century. (It was most commonly used to oil Buffalo hunters rifles and Fur Seal clubs.)

Tiki Fish have thrived as they are bottom feeders which can consume all sorts of garbage (and even manure pellets in the case of the farmed Tiki Fish) yet their flesh is firm and white and is excellent smoked or in fish sticks.
