I had always thought that small potatoes was something not to be worried about.
But is there a correlation between small potatoes and calling a child a small fry?
And the first time I heard big fish in a small pond was in the sixth grade. Mom told me, "Right now, you are the big fish in the small pond, but next year in Junior High School, you will be the small fish in the big pond." So, I have always thought of these two as being opposites.
