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

“…a wine sauce that is transformed into a stew by the addition of the fish’s blood.”

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.

♫ Frosty the lamprey ♫
♫ Was a jolly happy worm ♫
♫ With a lumpen shape ♫
♫ and no eyes to see ♫
♫ and a gaping, sucking maw ♫

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.
