I too remember taking a series of books out from the library, back in the 90s when I was a kid, that were set in the sea and had a fish private detective protagonist. The titles and author aren't coming to me, though.

What I do remember about the series I read was that one of the books involved a "nervous wreck" that was an actual shipwreck which shivered, and at one point someone quoted Edgar Allan Poe's line "All that we see or seem / Is but a dream within a dream."

EDIT: The series I'm thinking of is by Robert Lee, and the detective hero is named Rock Salmon. Titles include "Fishy Business", "Microfish", and "King Conger".

That very well might be it, Paul A. I'll have to investigate, thanks!
