They are not so common
as the Scate and Whip-Rays.
{Congar-Eels.}
Congar-Eels always remain in the Salt-Water; they are much more known
in the Northward Parts of America, than with us.
{Lamprey.}
Lampreys are not common; I never saw but one, which was large,
and caught by the Indians, in a Ware. They would not eat him,
but gave him to me.
{Eels.}
Eels are no where in the World better, or more plentiful, than in Carolina.
{Sun-Fish.}
Sun-Fish are flat and rounder than a Bream, and are reckon'd
a fine-tasted Fish, and not without Reason. They are much
the size of Angel-Fish.
{Toad-Fish.}
Toad-Fish are nothing but a Skin full of Prickles, and a few Bones;
they are as ugly as a Toad, and preserv'd to look upon,
and good for nothing else.
{Sea-Tench.}
They are taken by a Bait, near the Inlet, or out at Sea a little way.
They are blackish, and exactly like a Tench, except in the Back-fins,
which have Prickles like a Pearch. They are as good, if not better
than any Tench.
{Salt-Water Trouts.}
Trouts of the Salt-Water are exactly shaped like the Trouts in Europe,
having blackish, not red Spots.
