Released in 1990 on Caroline Records, it features the band's first single and minor radio hit "John the Fisherman". It was remastered in 2002, after the original had been out of print for years, and was released on Prawn Song Records. The remaster includes an extra track, named "Hello Skinny/Constantinople", a cover of the tracks "Hello Skinny" and "Constantinople" by The Residents.
"You Can't Kill Michael Malloy" is an excerpt from the Spent Poets song of the same name. The album's producer, Matt Winegar (who also recorded and produced Suck on This), was a member of the group, and a clip is featured just before "The Toys Go Winding Down". During Primus' 2004 Hallucino-Genetics Tour, where Frizzle Fry was performed as the second set, "You Can't Kill Michael Malloy" was used in its entirety as a short set break, as opposed to merely the excerpt. The beginning of "To Defy the Laws of Tradition" is an excerpt from the live version of "John the Fisherman" which appears on "Suck on This".
"Too Many Puppies" has been adopted by some sports venues as bump music. The track "John the Fisherman" was used in the video game Guitar Hero II.
All lyrics written by Claypool (Sturgeon BMI), all music composed by Primus (except: "Michael Malloy", composed and performed by Matt Winegar; "Hello Skinny/Constantinople", written by The Residents (Pale Pachyderm Publishing BMI)). Guitar melodies on "To Defy the Laws of Tradition", "Groundhog's Day", "Frizzle Fry", "John the Fisherman", and "Harold of the Rocks" by Todd Huth.
