Thanks Ian!
It's a measure of how I was feeling that I thought 'Ugh, that looks wrong, cant be bothered checking a dictionary.'
Always check the dictionary is right up there with Always blow on the pie... -

Hagfish generate an incredible amount of slime - they'll fill a 40litre bucket no trouble at all (we discovered this by experiment at Moeraki a looong time ago.)
They are not popular among fishers - they wind themselves round your line/s and befoul them - and then no other fish will come near the lines. Good survivalists- -

Is that a trickle of blobfish drool- or some unfortunate prey headed for the little red lane?

It would do ok - but I think Brian & Robyn et al hate me - I am soooo way behind with the Huia book (and I have put so much in it) and - well, it wont be wasted, but wont be on time - onward!

Ouch. Implants?
NAh.
I've never had lower jaw back molars, and as the rest of perilously-anchored teeth die - ah well, i will invent the most brillant savoury vege/fish smoothies there has ever been! -

Hey! Can do!
My uncle Bill taught me to smoke fish when I was 12 years old (the year after my father died.) I can literally( after weighing, ascetaining sugar content (U. Bill just licked it but he showed me how to *taste* it - including in meat-) and salt content
(especially important for fish) know what kind of brine/sugar mix to make. How long to weather after soaking/dry after brining/ what kind of sawdusts to make what kind of smokes...
cheeses and mussels are not a difficult matter-
