About Me
- V
- I present two blogs...Lac de Vie is a photo blog of my own real experiences framed as a kind of universal Cabin, situated in a remote forest by a beautiful lake. All photos on my blog were taken by me during actual visits to northern places. "North" is anything to which we orient our real inner compasses. North is true... Une Vie d'Artiste is a site on which I will post new work and personal news items, with discussions about both... All images copyright Erica Chappuis unless otherwise noted.

Of course I mean you'll win a signed erotic print.
A winner! Angelica Markén has guessed that the Engima is a fish. She wins the signed erotic print.
Now, as a runner-up prize (a smaller erotic print, let's say) can anyone guess what kind of fish this is? Hint: It doesn't like the cold of Michgan...
Okay, Ms. Markén identified the Engima as a "fish" correctly, but not the type of fish and no one else is hazarding a guess. So here it is, folks...
It is an Amazonian fish known in Brazil as a Surubim Pintado.
This beautiful fish ended up on my dinner table after I caught sight of its strange-looking filets at my local fish market. I had never seen anything like it before and my fishmonger had never been offered it before.
The meat was white and very much the consistency of chicken breast or even very tender pork. Much meatier than salmon, let's say. The taste was very fresh and clearly that of a fresh-water fish. In fact, it reminded me very much of catfish, with its slightly muddy, riverine flavor.
When I searched online I discovered that this fish is mostly familiar to us as viewed in large aquariums as a Tiger Shovelnose Catfish. It is a striking-looking fish with its silver, black and white coloring. It has no scales and feels very much like an eel to the touch. Its face looks exactly like that of any common American catfish, whiskers and all, but longer and distinctly more shovel-like.
Take a peek here, Pseudoplatystoma and look out for it at your local fish shops (both as food and as a pet.) It is considered a worthy game fish in Brazil.
