Please continue to use fishmonger whenever possible. It is among the best words in the English language. There's something really filthy about it, but in a really noble and nostalgic way. Its a word you rarely come across unless, well, you're in close proximity to fishmongers in your daily life, which I am not. We don't have the benefit of Germans, who get all the cool, esoteric and ultra-specific compound words, and make up new ones, as necessary, it seems. We have to cherish the ones we have.

Agreed, it reminds me of those old Ed, Edd, and Eddy episodes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JG-xublsKI#t=6m36s
