If you put them into warm Water,
they presently recover.
{Crocus.}
The Crocus is a Fish, in Shape like a Pearch, and in Taste like a Whiting.
They croke and make a Noise in your Hand, when taken with Hook or Net.
They are very good.
{Herring.}
The Herrings in Carolina are not so large as in Europe.
They spawn there in March and April, running up the fresh Rivers
and small fresh Runs of Water in great Shoals, where they are taken.
They become red if salted; and, drest with Vinegar and Oil,
resemble an Anchovy very much; for they are far beyond an English Herring,
when pickled.
{Smelts.}
The same as in England; they lie down a great way in the Sound,
towards the Ocean, where (at some certain Seasons) are a great many
very fine ones.
{Breams.}
The fresh Water affords no such Bream as in England, that I have
as yet discover'd; yet there is a Sea-Bream, which is a flat and thin Fish,
as the European Breams are.
{Taylors.}
The Taylor is a Fish about the Bigness of a Trout, but of
a bluish and green Colour, with a forked Tail, as a Mackarel has.
They are a delicate Fish, and plentiful in our Salt-Waters.
Infinite numbers of other Species will be hereafter discover'd
as yet unknown to us; although I have seen and eaten of several other
sorts of Fish, which are not here mention'd, because, as yet,
they have no certain Names assign'd them.
