Memo to woman I just overheard:
The phrase is "a fine kettle of fish," and not, as you suggested in your recent conversation, "quite a kettle of worms."
Nobody has kettles full of worms.
Conversely, and for future reference, it's a "can of worms" that can be figuratively opened, not a "can of fish."
Just in case you were wondering.
