It’s a frickin’ huge lamprey. Right out of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

Mmm.. Lamprey bodelaise. That one might be a little too big, though.

Yup and they’re an invasive species in the great lakes. Some $20 million per year is spent to keep them at a manageable level.

Lamprey eel. Good to eat. Ask the Japanese or any tribe from the N.West Coast. We have been eating them for ever. Roasted on coals, but most liked in the smoke house.

There are only two creatures that tend to give me the willies, when I look at them and lampreys is one of them.

I’m glad they let it go in time to make the presentation for best picture last night at the Academy Awards.

They eat them in Great Britain as well.

I suppose I would be OK eating it if I only know its “fish”.
