Coelecanth does not make good sushi, in case you were wondering.
"Coelacanths are mucilaginous; their scales release mucus and their bodies continually exude oil. This oil is a laxative, and makes the fish virtually inedible unless dried and salted." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Coelacanth.JPG |

Lamprey. OK, here's another very primitive fish - and people do eat
this one - but I've only heard of it being eaten cooked. Lamprey sushi? |

Lampreys have several spots located right behind the eyes. Hence they are called Yatsu-me-unagi (eight eyed eel) in Japan. Historically in some remote boondock places in Japan they are eaten (grilled) and believed to have some medicinal value. If you're into these kind of fish the Hagfish, a by-product of fish traps designed for better fish are also eaten, again grilled, in some fishing villages. Either way the average person in Japan will never run across either of these fish. M |

Lamprey pie, a celebrated dish amongst English royalty.
http://whatscookingamerica.net/Histo...LampreyPie.htm It looks like an eel but it's a far more primitive creature, belonging to the near-extinct family of jawless fish. Eel makes very nice sushi, but I think it's always served cooked. Is that correct, Musashi? |

I'd like to try lamprey pie!
OK, any other primitive fish to go on about? What about cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays? Can they be eaten raw? |

Can they be eaten raw? > None are eaten raw anywhere to my knowledge. Most species of sharks have ammonia in the skin which affects the meat unless properly prepared from time of capture. There are exceptions such as the Mako, Great White and Thresher Sharks which do not have this problem and can be enjoyed as "steaks" just like swordfish. In Japan sharks are way down the list as valued fish and are generally considered "nerimono" (to be ground up) for kamaboko, chikuwa and other fish-cakes. Rays and skates are aren't commonly used but no doubt they are possibly in dried form, as seen in Korea also, in some remote areas of Japan. So, I won't say that shark sashimi doesn't exist somewhere but I've certainly never run across it. Thinking about this topic, if there is any primitive fish that "might" be good for sushi/sashimi I am think perhaps the sturgeon as I've had it cooked and smoked and I thought it was quite delicious. Where I'd ever find fresh raw sturgeon to test, I have no idea. M |

Raw sturgeon - I found this:
"Meals [on a Russian river boat in Siberia] consisted of boiled meat and starch, except breakfast, which was always raw sturgeon, black caviar, and vodka." http://www.gso.uri.edu/maritimes/Tex...oran_side.html Shark sushi - I found this: "shark sushi rolls". ..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaX58bD-3uQ BUT... * Sturgeon cho-same Never eaten raw (fresh water flukes!). The name means 'butterfly-shark' --- Ah yes, a fresh water fish! What are those krazy Russians doing!? Maybe they prepare it somehow, marinate it in lemon juice or something... and * Shark SAme Almost never eaten raw or in sushi bars http://ease.com/~randyj/rjsushi.htm |

When I accidentally encounter those Korean skate & noodle dishes in the Korean joints, that's dried? It's bone-in or cartilage-in stuff. Man that is some hard work. You could starve to death eating skate, expending more calories than you gain. Is skate used for anything else other than this torment, like fish cakes and stuff? -- ///--- |

At least that's what I've been told, traditionally. But when I stop to think of all the Sukesoudara (Alaskan Pollack) going to make fishcakes after removing just the roe for Tarako/Mentaiko, I find it hard to imagine that there's much demand for Skate and Shark. It would seem like there's plenty of lower-grade white meat fish around. For Shark and Skate I personally turn to western dishes. Nothing beats the soft scallop-like poached skate wings of a Raie Au Buerre Blanc. And I've enjoyed many fresh Mako shark steaks that would put swordfish to shame. Musashi |

that there's much demand for Skate and Shark. It would seem like there's plenty of lower-grade white meat fish around. --- They say that a lot of the "scallops" at the fish market are actually stamped from skate wings. Didn't we talk about that here a while back? Was it Dan who said they used to do that but not much any more? For Shark and Skate I personally turn to western dishes. Nothing beats the soft scallop-like poached skate wings of a Raie Au Buerre Blanc. And I've enjoyed many fresh Mako shark steaks that would put swordfish to shame. --- Yep! |

"When I accidentally encounter those Korean skate & noodle dishes in

Not exactly joking but I was rather intrigued by the thought that a shellfish is not a fish! I'm not really sure what would be the taxonomic definition tho' I'm not very concerned and indeed I can be a bit sloppy in the use.

But the English language has many such examples. Particularly when you deal with taxonomy, the common name for something often reflects the ignorance of those who first gave it a name. For example, a ringtailed cat isn't a cat, a lightning bug isn't a bug, a prairie dog isn't a dog, a Tasmanian wolf isn't a wolf, a guinea pig isn't a pig, and so on. There are lots more examples. I don't know other languages well enough, but my guess is that this phenomenon isn't limited to English by a long shot. > I'm not really sure what would > be the taxonomic definition tho' I'm not very concerned and > indeed I can be a bit sloppy in the use. It seems almost like > the Maigritte painting of a tobacco pipe with the title "Ceci > n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe) It's not a pipe. It's a picture of a pipe, which as I understand it, was Magritte's point. It's sort of like Korzybski's famous statement that "the map is not the territory." -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Interesting little tangent here, but a lighting bug is a bug, I
think. A sea horse, however, is not a horse, nor is a sea cucumber a vegetable. |

But I do agree that ignorance is probably the most common cause. And it's not just in English. Just as many fish are mistakingly named xxx-bass, (or in the case of Australia xxx-cod) many fish are mistakingly named xxx-dai, which is Tai the Sea Bream. M |

Maybe amongst entomologists a firefly ain't a bug, but for everybody
else a firefly is a bug. When I was a kid I got the idea to help my parents out and save 'em electric bills by lighting up our house with fireflies instead of electric light bulbs, so I went to the park one summer evening and collected fireflies in a bottle, and thoughtful little feller that I wuz, I even punched holes in the lid and tossed in a bit of what I thought might be firefly food, grass or something. The only flaw in this brilliant plan - the fly in the ointment so to speak - was that the bottle was wet because I forgot to dry it off after washing out the mayonnaise or whatever was in it before, and the fireflies didn't seem too thrilled with a wet bottle, so instead of illuminating my house they just stuck to the sides and died, not a pretty sight. |
