Notas:
- Etnográfica:
A freshwater fish which most people eat. Grows up to about 15”. Caught on handlines in rivers and creeks. Reported to sometimes jump out of the water to catch bugs, and that they can catch themselves on a spoon hook the same way. (As of 2008, due to severe declines of all fish stocks, nets were being used, both cast nets and gill nets) Most say there are two classes of sabut: the white sabut and the black sabut. In KR, some call the white one “fall elik,” and some call the black one “swamp elik” or “Simon elik.” Other Ramas say there are three different “sabut”: a short brown and black one with a big head that you don’t eat, a long one, “pluuma,” that is more of a brown color, and which you do eat, and the biggest one, a black one, which many eat. That one is “cabo de hacha” in Spanish. Eating any kind of “sabut” is a remedy for those who suffer from peeing too much.
Pez de agua dulce que la mayoría de la gente come. Crece hasta 15”. Se pesca con cuerda en los ríos y criques. Se dice que a veces salta del agua para agarrar insectos, y que a veces se atrapa solo en un “anzuelo cuchara”. Desde el 2008 se usan redes (verticales y tarraya), debido a la disminución de todo tipo de peces. Se dice que este pez tiene dos variedades: sabut blanco y sabut negro. En KR, algunos llaman al blanco “fall elik,” y al negro “elik de cienega, o “Simon elik”. Otros dicen que hay tres especies: uno que es café con negro que no se come, otro “pluma,” que se come y que es mas largo y mas café, y el mas grande que es negro, que se llama “cabo de hacha” en español, y que unos comen. Tambien es bueno comer este pez cuando uno orina demasiado.

Notas:
- Etnográfica:
It is an iguana species that is green young and adult. Dry weather, March, especially, is iguana time. Catching them is usually teamwork: If you see one on a tree, one person climbs to shake it off, ad the others strategically place themselves below on the ground and in the creek to try to catch it when it drops. This often means that you have to "dive" it. Either way, you have to try to grab it by the head and the base of the tail. Ramas traditionally don't shoot them to catch them, but Mestizos do. It is a highly desireable meat which was also formerly sold, but which is now (2008) extremely scarce. Iguana can be roasted and then run down with coconut milk and breadkind. Soup is made by boiling the meat until soft, taking it out, and then adding breadkind, rice, and condiments (onion, gourd pepper, sweet pepper, black pepper) to the broth. The you might stew the softened meat separately in coconut milk with breadkind and condiments if you have them. If the iguana had eggs that were still very soft, you would probably stew them along with the softened meat in the coconut milk. The head is usually roasted for the dog.
