Ham-eating freak fish

What I loved most: The theme song perhaps?

What I really hated: The entire cartoon

It's a story about a freakish fish with a human head which can jump out of the water to eat HAM? Yeah.. HAM from the sandwich. And after sucking the blood of a boy, she is able to "grow" hands and legs to transform into the most annoying desperate girl ever. Yah, she looks for the boy and imposes on the mother and munches on more ham. And in the end, her mum (who turns out to be a beautiful mermaid with a head as huge as her father's entire body... YES! Not kidding) grants her desperate wish. She can now become human if the boy kisses her. WHAT HAPPENED? She jumps out of her little bubble and kisses the boy on her own accord. DESPERATE and LOUSY cartoon.
