342 Mr. WAFERS Defcription 



Swlpins. There are Sculpins alfo, a Fifh about a Foot long, 

 with Prickles all about him : They ftrip them of 

 their prickly Skin, and then drefs them. They 



\ are very good Meat. 



sting rays, There are in the North-Sea many other Fifli befide 

 Snooks'^ ^efe, as Sti n g- ra y s ? Parrot-fifh, Snooks, Conger-Eels, 

 Conger- and many others probably, that I have neither 



Eels, &c. feen nor heard of ; for 'tis a Sea very well ftor'd 

 with Fifh. 



Shell-fift. Of Shell-fiflh, there are Conchs all along the Sam- 

 §MWh lalloes in Abundance. Their Shells are very large, 

 winding within like a Snail-fhell ; the Mouth of the 

 Shell is flat, and very wide, proportionably to the 

 Bignefs of the Shell. The Colour of it within is 

 like Mother of Pearl ; but without 'tis coarfe and 

 rugged. The Fifh is flimy, the Out-parts of it, 

 efpecially, and muft therefore be fcour'd with Sand 

 before 'tis drefs 5 d for Eating. But within, the Sub- 

 fiance is hard and tough ; for which Reafon they 

 beat them after they have fcour'd the Out-fide : But 

 when they have been thus managed, they are a very 

 fweet and good Fifh. 

 Periwinc- There are Perizvinckles good Store among the 

 kku Rocks ; which are alfo good Meat. We pick them 



out of the Shells with Pins. 

 ImfitSn The Limpits alfo ftick to the Rocks hereabouts; 

 and are rather better Meat than the other. 



There are no Oyfters nor Lobfters on the Coaft 

 Sea-Crabs. 6f the Ifthmus y but a few Crabs, and a Sort of 

 £r4w-j£#.Craw-fifh among the Rocks of the Samballoes, as 

 large as fmall Lobfters, but wanting the two great 

 Claws. Thefe laft are very delicious Meat ; but 

 the Sea^Crabs are not very good. 

 Frefii- There are Fifh in the Rivers alfo of the Ifthmus % 

 yttterFifo.but I am not acquainted with many of the Kinds of 

 them*
