The Fishermens hookes doe not alwayes returne them good prise: for
often there cleaueth to the baite, a certaine fish like a Starre,
so farre from good meate, as it is held contagious.
There swimmeth also in the Sea, a round slymie substance, called a
Blobber, reputed noysome to the fish.
But you are tired, the day is spent, and it is high time that I draw
to harbour: which good counsell I will follow, when I haue onely told
you, In what maner the Fishermen saue the most part of their fish.
Some are polled (that is, beheaded) gutted, splitted, powdred and
dried in the Sunne, as the lesser sort of Hakes. Some headed,
gutted, iagged, and dried, as Rayes, and Thornbackes. Some gutted,
splitted, powdred, and dried, as Buckhorne made of Whitings, (in the
East parts named Scalpions) and the smaller sort of Conger, and Hake.
Some gutted, splitted, and kept in pickle, as Whiting, Mackrell,
Millet, Basse, Peall, Trowt, Sammon, and Conger. Some, gutted, and
kept in pickle, as the lesser Whitings, Pollocks, Eeles, and squarie
Scads.
