Thread: Help with Fish Indentity

Don't knock it until you try it. Heck in some countries Cigs are considered a treat.

Knock yourself out. You can have my share cause homey don't eat no wormy fish.

Do you eat Amberjack?

[size=12pt] Remora’s Importance for Humans: “The remora is of unique value to humans. The fish itself is not generally eaten, but is instead used as a means of catching large fish and sea turtles. Fishermen in countries around the world use them by attaching a line to their tails and then releasing them. The remora will then swim off and attach itself to a large fish or turtle, which can then be pulled in by a careful fisherman. The remora is not held in high esteem as a food fish, although the Australian aborigines are said to eat them after using them on fishing trips. On the other hand, aborigines from the West Indies never ate their "hunting fish" and instead sang songs of praise and reverence to them.”

The ancient Greeks and Romans had written widely about Remoras and had ascribed to them many magical powers such as the ability to cause an abortion if handled in a certain way. Shamans in Madagascar to this day attach portions of the Remora's suction disk to the necks of wives to assure faithfulness in their husband’s absence.

Remoras are used to kill sea turtles? Even more reason to kill them all.

On the abortion thing. "If handled in a certain way." Did they use the suction head to suck the fetus out like a plunger? Is that what that means?
