Consider Southern kitchen terms:
A
MESS of turnip
greens (or any garden crop) as a measure of how much to cook;
A
SLEW
of almost anything, but It seems to fit fish,
considering “slough” is a slow-moving stream in vernacular: So, a slew (or slough) of fish. But it is a mess of
fish for dinner.

Are you aware that there is a
book which lists “nouns of multitude?” It’s title is “An
Exaltation of Larks.”
I AM SURE YOU CAN THINK OF SOME MORE TO ADD TO THIS!
