Feb 11, 2009: Stuffed Skate

Skates, a fish in the Ray family, are bottom dwellers, which is much deeper than Cellar dwellers.
They may be deeper in other ways too, but I digress.

They're carnivorous, feeding mostly on smaller fish and crustaceans that also make it to the bottom of the ocean.
What else makes it to the bottom? Trash.

This fisherman hauls up a Skate that looks a little lumpy, so he opens it up...



And what to his wondrous eyes does appear...
A digital camera
A book of some sort
A large bottle
A pack of smokes (I think)
A piece that looks like a foil packet for a condom...
or Alka Seltzer, which would make sense considering the rest.


Do they use Skate for sushi?

This picture came from a site called WarNet.ws which would indicate Samoa, but it's all in Russian. It's also NSFW around the edges.

Well it's hard to know since it happened on a camping trip.

There's usually call for both.

I'd expect more Hello Kitty merchandise. And more than one camera.


(also, the book looks more Chinese than Japanese to me, FWIW).

If it weren't for the pictures, I'd say we were looking at date night for Bruce, minus the rubber glove :-)

Good point, but I didn't see any candy wrappers.

It's not a land skate! There's no wheels and no skate key on a shoestring around it's neck.
