English translation:Let's hear it for meat and fish!
Explanation:
"Let meat and fish come alive" (a little tongue-in-cheek, this one!). Just another option. I would not use "meats" in the plural in this case.

Floriana non usarebbe \"meats\"... ne vedo il caso. \"Fish\" rimane uguale in plurale e quindi puo\' sembrare singulare.

Un altra possibilita\':
Let the meats and the fish triumph/ prevail (mettendo l\'articolo per \'fish\')

Oppure, singolare/senza articolo: Let meat and fish triumph/prevail

disagree  Audrey: I don't agree with the meats part. We're talking in general here,right?!!!

  -> Yes, we're talking in general, yet the Italian phrase mentions "le carni" -not "la carne".... :-)

let meat and fish prevail in all their glory!


Explanation:
"in all their glory" emphasises the triumphant part and I think it is best to use the plural with no article in this case as the phrase is in a general sense.
