Happy Burbotine’s Day‪!‬ The Fish Dish

    • Ciencias naturales

In this episode Sharon and Marie interview Titus Seilheimer, Sea Grant’s fisheries outreach specialist. Then they travel to Cornucopia, Wisconsin, on the south shore of Lake Superior to speak with staff from Halvorson Fisheries. What’s the topic? Burbot!
If you’re not familiar with what a burbot fish is, you will be by the time the podcast is over. Plus, a very special day is coming up soon. Most people call it Valentine’s Day, but at the Fish Dish we call it something else due to an important event in the burbot life cycle.
For the “Fish-o-Licious” part of our show, we make a tasty appetizer and compare burbot to shrimp to see if it really can be called “Poor Man’s Shrimp.”
