No surprise that out of all those photos from Reinhard this was the one you chose to blog! This damn mamouni stings like hell! It’s thought to be good bait for fish though. I used it once, my skin got itchy, caught no fish!

That's why given a fisherman and a hunter I prefer the second. At least in the last case you choose your target. In the second you can wait and wait for centuries and in most cases you catch a καλόγρια-fish.

The term ‘worm’ is not accurate. It’s a primitive marine arthropodon like the Scolopendra and like the Scolopendra, they both eat WORMS!
He he he ~ vixens are afraid of hunters but with fishermen it’s different. D.T. calls himself a fisherman, btw. Whatever… he takes me to nice places and he leaves me to mind my own businesses.

καλόγρια -fish ) χα χα ~ tastes so bad they say…

Kαλόγρια / nun fish do taste like shit. This is the reason we call them “nuns”, not only because they are black. Melanouria are black too and they are delicious!

But what makes the first more intriguing is the mystery of the unseen target.

If I were a fish I would not eat that scary thing either.

Hey, speaking of fish, the dangerous toxic Lagocephalus (or what ever it is spelled the fish with the “hare’s head”) which has crossed through from the Indian Ocean in the Mediterranean, appeared in the waters around Ikaria. It’s meat is deadly poisonous w/o antidote. There are warning signs all over the island.
Agrimi, as soon as you are back from (?) post an alert.

I have seen the warnings too. Fishermen form Fournoi brought one to the vet in Ikaria and asked what it was (wise!)
Lagocephalus sceleratus !!!! (= malefactor) A Lessepsian (through Suez canal) migrator.

D.T. knows and says that the Lagocephalus IS an innocent fish. The people of the Indian ocean know the poisonous parts and get rid of them. The meat tastes like the ordinary Cephalus fish and it is as safe as that common fish.
