[Sca-cooks] The lamprey of the Great Lakes

[Daniel And elizabeth phelps]

Lamprey have been around for a while in the Great Lakes and some lakes proximal to them.  I remember as a child back in the late 60's seeing a small one about a third to half a meter long netted with some bait fish at the out fall of Crystal Lake in Benzonia County Michigan.  Crystal Lake is a rather large lake that was at one time in late 1800's connected in Lake Michigan back during the lumbering period that stripped out the old growth.

Good news, medieval cooks! Now you can get your lamprey straight out of the 
 Great Lakes!:

Not  such great news for native species, but hey what's important here, 
after  all?

Otherwise, for anyone who would like to know more about lamprey and  carp 
in our period, here's my blog post for this week:
