Yeah, I was surprised too. Turns out there's an old myth about a fisherman who catches a mermaids, and she begs to be released, offering to grant him a wish I return.

There's also a similar story about a guy who catches a regular magical fish that grants him three wishes instead of just one, and the sod uses his third wish to kill his wife. Fun stuff.
