phrase taken from the pun "Salt water puns are a bunch abalone" - most probably a pun based upon the pronounciation of the words - 'abalone' (a mollusc) sounds just like 'a baloney'. My guess is that the phrase means 'lots of crap' but I need some confirmation.

I am sure you see that the phrase is a "salt water pun" itself.
