I built my colleague her “My First Lamprey” for when she returned from maternity leave. It’s terrifying but she loved it.

There should be barnacles around the base to complement Frosty the Lamprey.
Without those, he’s just a sucker with no shellfish team.

It doesn’t look any worse than canned mackerel I see in Japanese grocery stores. I applaud the clever use of an invasive pest species.

Nopity nope nope. When I was maybe 7 or 8 we were on a trip and had a layover at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam. I wandered into some sort of deli-like shop in the terminal and right there in the refrigerated case was a lamprey with the head and all. Pure nightmare fuel.

♫ Was a jolly happy worm ♫
♫ With a lumpen shape ♫

Sounds delicious. I’d eat it. But I love some BBQ’d eel. Tender, sweet meat.
Incidentally, I think I saw on some fishing show, lampreys are traditional tribal fare in the pacific northwest. Article I just found on it.
