"eelpout"? Well, I can't say I've ever seen luts/made/eelpout/burbot in New York - tilapia and swordfish are much more prevalent. Maybe I should have visited the legendary Fulton fish market before it moved to the Bronx. While I generally like exploring the Bronx, the Hunts Point area where the new wholesale fish market is located seems to be one of the rare remaining pocket of seediness in the city, rife with eighteen wheeler drivers picking up street prostitutes. Looks dreary enough from the expressway, so I'm not planning on visiting anytime soon. Antti thinks my most common facial expression looks like this |-( – a.k.a. “eelpout”?

So I learned a new word as well:) Antti - your fishing trip sounds so idyllic. I haven't ice-fished myself obviously, but can wholly appreciate the joys of roasting ubiquous "pastry sausages" over amber coals out in the wild.. Cute dogs, by the way!

But did you realize it's also called "eelpout" ;) The Latin name Lota lota is also pretty funny. I definitely learned a new word today – burbot.
