 JW> There seems to be some controversy over their

One web site hinted delicately to changing tastes and restaurant
menus adapting due to "recent Asian immigrants becoming upwardly
mobile".

 DS> They were great sport

So I've read. I don't think they go as far north as Nova Scotia or
Newfoundland. I've never encountered them or even heard of them
until that recent post of Michael's.

 ML> Weller thinks they're attractive.
 
 JW> Well they look quite nice in pictures with their multicoloured 
 JW> spots and blotches. 

 DS> I had to go on the web to see what the hell you were talking about.

 DS> [g] The ones we used to catch had rows of sharp teeth behind big, thick
 DS> livery lips and were charcoal grey and black with white bellies. 
 DS> Huge, bony heads fronting a stout body.

 DS> Here's a URL to what I remember a tautog looking like:

 DS> Not nearly as pretty as some of the pictures I bet you were

Nope! Arrgh. It's like when I was wearing beer goggles at closing
time and then looked again when I woke up the next day. [g]
