doesn't exist (mistranslation)


Explanation:
I don't believe that it's a word. First of all, I've never heard of 'fishlegs.' Secondly, I did a web search and was unable to find anything except 'Uruguayan Wines guide,' from which I think you've found this word, and I have to say that several terms and phrases seem to be mistranslated on this page. Apart from this website, the term 'fishlegs' only appears on Google search as nicknames or user names, things of that sort. This leads me to believe that the word doesn't exist.
