old men are | fond of broiled half-dried kelp-fish, | because it is 
tender. As soon as the woman finishes eating, || she drinks water. 
When the dried kelp-fish is really dry, | it is soaked like dried salmon 
when it is soaked; | and it is cooked in the same way as the | half- 
dried kelp-fish is cooked when it is broiled and when it is boiled. | 
That is all about this. || 
Split Kelp-Fish.—Now I will talk again about the | kelp-fish split 
in two. When the man goes home who has (gone out) | with the fish- 
trap to catch kelp-fish, as soon as he has many, | the woman takes 
her fish-knife and sits down at the || edge of the old mat on which the 
fish has been put. Then she takes one of the kelp-fish with her left 
hand. | Its tail is towards the woman, | and its stomach is turned 
towards the left side, when she puts it down. | Then she cuts off the 
head; and when the head has been cut off, | she cuts into the back 
and cuts all the way down to the tail, || cutting through along the 
upper side of the backbone. When it is spread open, | she pulls out 
the intestines; and when all the intestines are out, she | cuts along 
the under side of the backbone and takes it out close | to the tail, 
and then she breaks it off. She | throws away the backbone. The 
tail is left on the || split kelp-fish. Then she cuts it down lengthwise,
