Ling - large deep water relative of cod (possibly also ling cod (AKA burbot,
barbot, or lotte) the freshwater cod. I doubt this second usage as barbot
or lotte are the medieval French).
Haburdyn - try harburden, salt cod.
Base - probably bass deriving from the ME bars meaning perch.
Tench - A type of freshwater or brackish water carp. Gressell - probably
jussell.
> Brette. Creues. Also in fish days.
Brette - Birt (see Boke of Nurture for reference joining the two) AKA
turbot.
Creues - Crayfish (ref. A New English Dictionary founded on historical
principles....)
