It's lamprey time. These fishy parasites are considered a delicacy in Portugal, and fisherman can't snag enough from the freshwater rivers of that country. Check out that array of teeth and imagine what it would be like to be host to one of these monsters. Now imagine eating one, perhaps buttered and pan roasted. I'm honestly torn on this one.

I have a mortal fear of lamprey. Ever since X-files showed 'lamprey man' and then the internet spawned MANY lamprey photo manipulations... Lamprey make me cry in terror and hide in corners.
If I end up having creepy Japanese animation tentacle-romance nightmares, it'll be all your fault!

Anywho... it just amazes me the things people consider delicacies.
I'm sorry but people are idiots! We're not meant to eat everything we can get our hands on and creepy lamprey's are ones we shouldn't be munchin on.. yuck.
we could use that as a strategy in the Great Lakes. yum.
my family purchases these every time we visit portugal! I've never seen the head on my plate though, the meat is very fatty and tender - if you have ever had eel the taste is very similar =)
happy eating
