Yeah the burbot are creepy looking. Are they really as good to eat as they say they are?
I must admit that I've never tasted one. Whenever we went out for them, my mother would admonish us with "don't bring any of those greasy things into my house!"
The older brother of a friend had a mink farm, and as I recall that is where most of them went.
We never caught any that looked as nice as the one in Cecil's picture. None looked anywhere near as pretty as the drawings that are posted. The ones we speared were typically 15 to 20 inches long, but skinny like eels or fat snakes. Their colors were generally a very mottled dark green to brown. They were ugly.
