Eat lampreys! We're delicious! Some dishes with lamprey: Lamproie à la bordelaise (France) Arroz de Lampreia (Portugal) Yatsume kabayaki (Japan) Lamp dog (my invention. lamprey in hotdog) Dried lamprey (Native American, multiple tribes) Canned fried lamprey Lamprey pie (England) Humans harvest and eat about seven species of lamprey. The mucus & serum are toxic, so must be washed before cooking. Elaborate lamprey pies are served at coronations in England. King Henry I was said to have died from eating a "surfeit of lampreys". Due to lack of scales, they're haram and non-kosher. Some places with lampreys on their heraldry include: Nakkila & Eurajoki, Finland Pajares de la Lampreana & Villalba de la Lampreana, Spain Freguesia de Penacova, Portugal Sainte-Terre, France Carnikava, Latvia Also included is a list of 15 languages' word for lampreys. What lampreys do for us: Important to ecosystem, food source, fish bait, culturally importance, scientific research What we can do for lampreys: Fight their negative image, don't let invasive & non-invasive species be confused, support conservation of local species, get involved with your local tribe's conservation efforts (if applicable). If you live near Arbo (Spain), Willamette Falls (USA), Sainte-Terre (France), Carnikava (Latvia), or Narva-Jõesuu (Estonia), go to a lamprey festival! Kiss a lamprey...? (This one is being said by a lamprey) While I was working on this zine, I was shown photos of a friend of a friend's mom's coworker's Halloween lamprey costume. More people should do this. Lampreys in video games include: Eelektrik from Pokemon, Rae from Astronautilus, lamprey from Shadow of the Erdtree.
