    Commonly eaten fairly large fish (up to 20, 25 pounds). Lives in the sea, lagoon, and part way up the river. It has big roe, a delicacy which is fried, or put in a waha leaf and set in the pot of rondon. Very rank, i.e., strong-smelling, and oily fish. Usually not stewed in coconut milk; you just roast it, or, you might salt it and dry it over the fire, and then run it down (i.e., stew it). You catch it in August in a net or you strike it.
    There is a belief that it is not good to eat when you have a fever, because they jump too high and make the fever go higher.
    Pez bastante grande de laguna y agua salada que se come comúnmente. Huele muy fuerte a aceite de pescado. Generalmente no se cocina en leche de coco; se pone a secar sobre el fuego y luego se hace rondón (guisado). Tiene bastantes huevas, una delicadeza, fritas, o cocidas envueltas en hoja de waha (bijagua) dentro del rondón. Se captura en octubre con trasmallo o con anzuelo. Antes lo pescaban con arpón (“waisku”). Brinca bastante mientras nada. Existe la creencia de que no hay que comerlo cuando se tiene fiebre, porque como salta muy alto hace subir la temperatura. Tampoco se recomienda que lo coman las mujeres con bebes.

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Coconuts are a central part of Atlantic Coast cooking, and are a valuable cash crop which is hard to protect from thieves. Young green coconuts are great thirst quenchers. Mature coconuts are used to produce milk for cooking by pouring water on grated coconut and squeezing out the milk. The "trash" is then sometimes used to add texture and taste to fried baking soda-raised flour "tortillas," and to feed to chickens and pigs. Coconut oil is made to use to fry foods. Coconuts (and some oil) are sold in Bluefields or traded /sold to shrimp boats in Monkey Point. The husks and shells are not really used for anything. The Rama do not make copra to sell, but some have worked for other people who have copra businesses on Corn Island.
