So I am reading Dragon Ball in Japanese and I got stuck with this sentence.
Goku is looking for food and looks down at a river and says:

> よし！久しぶりに魚にしようっと！

which I think means something like

> Nice! It's been a while since the last time I ate fish!

So I can understand it by context but I would like somebody to break it down
for me and explain to me the use of the two に and especially しようっと. Thank you
very much!

question
grammar meaning words manga sentence
What does よし！久しぶりに魚にしようっと！ mean?
* よし in this context is closer to "Okay" or "Alright" said when you've decided something. It's defined as 決意する時に発する声 in [this dictionary entry](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/227500/meaning/m0u/%E3%82%88%E3%81%97/).
  * 久しぶり is a noun that works as a no-adjective (sometimes also as a na-adjective). There is no single-word equivalent in English. This に after 久しぶり is used to [turn a na-/no-adjective into an adverb](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/adgobi.html). 

>     * **久しぶりの** 休暇 _first_ vacation _in a long time_
>     * **久しぶりに** 走る to run _for the first time in a while_
>
> (Note that 休暇 is a noun and 走る is a verb.)

  * ～にする is a very common set phrase which has [several meanings](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%AB%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B). In this case, it means "to decide on ～ (from multiple options)" or "to choose".
  * しよう is the volitional form of する.
  * For っと, see [What does volitional form + っと mean?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/27744/5010)
