More Fish is the sixth solo album from Ghostface Killah, released on December 12, 2006 through the Def Jam label.[1]
The album's name derives from Ghostface's earlier 2006 release, Fishscale. The track "Good", featuring Ghostface's fellow Theodore Unit member Trife Da God and Mr. Maygreen, and produced by Kool-Aid & Peanut, was the first single. It contains one track, "Josephine," which was originally featured on Hi-Tek's Hi-Teknology 2: The Chip, but all other tracks are made of previously unreleased material.

[edit] Reception
Rolling Stone (p.112) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he current century has proven Ghostface the most irrepressible rapper of his generation."
Spin (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's another dimension of Ghost's genius and arguably his most consistent collection since 2000's Supreme Clientele."
Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "[N]ostalgic soul samples, richly detailed scenes of street life, and an abundance of inventive wordplay." -- Grade: A-
Vibe (p.110) - "Festooned with both showy tinsel and raw gristle, it feels somehow safe and experimental, foundational and radical."
Mojo (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -"'Alex' is a tale of Hollywood mendacity writ ghetto large. Bizarre, but brilliant."
