This fish was/is subject to a reare fishing method in Norway.
"Kubbe fiske" translated "Bat fishing"
In the winter they come in to realy shallow water under the ice,
When spotted the bat(basebalbat) or kubbe was hammerd in to the ice
knoking the fish unconshes, then you make a hole in the ice and pick up the fish.
The fish was higely valued for it's strong skin.
Nice meat I dont agree that it taste like lobster, no more than saltwater cod does.
But it taste realy good thats for sure, common all over Norway, usualy 1-3 pounds but record fish on rod 50 pounds.
A lot of sport fishers throw them out because they look ugly.
