I can understand the star part of the name but it's sure not a fish. Any thoughts?

Around the Oregon coast I've heard them more often called sea stars, which would seem more appropriate. Perhaps some people call them starfish because they taste like tuna. ;)

Google led has eliminated mystery and wonder. 
Sea stars, commonly called, "starfish," are not fish. There are approximately 2,000 species of sea star, all of which live in marine waters. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins.

Some animals needed a canoe to cross the ocean.

Whale had one but refused to lend it, so Starfish kept him busy, telling him stories and grooming him to remove parasites, while the others stole the canoe.

When Whale realized the trick he beat Starfish ragged, which is how Starfish still is today.
