Roasted Silver-Salmon. (Roasted tails of silver-salmon caught by | 
trolling.) || 
When the silver-salmon caught by trolling is cut open, | the 
tail is left on the backbone. After | the woman has cut it, she 
takes the roasting-tongs and breaks off the | tail from\the backbone, 
and she puts the salmon-tails | crosswise into the roasting-tongs in 
this manner: Often || the salmon-tails are taken off after the 
backbone has been roasted, | in this manner and 
they only break them off after they have DSP been 
roasted. | After the tails have been put “% into 
the roasting- tongs, | they are put by the side 
of the fire; and when theskinis blackened, | they 
are taken away and laid down || just over the fire, so that 
the heat of the fire goes right up to them; | and when the owner 
of the house gets hungry,he just takes | them down and eats of them. 
And if he does not eat all (he has taken down), he just | puts it back 
above. | 
Halibut.—[The method of halibut fishing has been described in 
“The Kwakiutl of Vancouver Island” (Publications of the Jesup 
North Pacific Expedition, Vol. V, pp. 472-480). The account con- 
tinues as follows:] 
As soon as (the halibut-fisher) enters his house, his wife | quickly 
gives him something to eat; and when he begins to eat, his wife | 
goes out of the house, carrying her small basket, in which she has 
four fish-knives. | She is going to work on all the halibut lying on 
their backs on the beach. ||
