Eels Considered a Gorean delicacy. Various types include: river eel, black eel and the spotted eel.

"One dish I recall was composed of the tongues of eels and was sprinkled with flavored aphrodisiacs..." Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 204 ~才 "Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros." Book 6, Raiders of Gor, page 114 "Many estates, particularly country estates, have pools in which fish are kept. Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eels, and such, which are Gorean delicacies. Needless to say a bound slave, cast into such a pool, will be eaten alive." Book 25, Magicians of Gor, page 428

Grunts A large game fish found in the plankton banks. Their black tiny eggs are also eaten.

"Three other men of the Forkbeard attended to fishing, two with a net, sweeping it along the side of the serpent, for parsit fish, and the third, near the stem, with a hook and line, baited with vulo liver, for the white-bellied grunt, a large game fish which haunts the plankton banks to feed on parsit fish." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 73 ~才 " The tables were covered with cloths of glistening white and a service of gold. Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny golden cup, with a small golden spoon, the clustered, black, tiny eggs of the white grunt. The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served by Pamela and Bonnie." Book 14, Fighting Slave of Gor, pages 275 - 276 ~才

Parsit Fish Brown striped, silverish fish that is commonly dried and/or used in slave gruel/Sa-Tarna porridge/bond-maid gruel

"The men of Torvaldsland are skilled with their hands. Trade to the south, of course is largely in furs acquired from Torvaldsland, and in barrels of smoked, dried parsit fish." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 36 ~才 " 'Tomorrow night,' said Ivar Forkbeard to her, 'I shall have your ransom money.' She did not deign to speak to him, but looked away. Like the bond-maids, she had been fed only on cold Sa-Tarna porridge and scraps of dried parsit fish." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 69 ~才 "The men with the net drew it up. In it, twisting and flopping, silverish, striped with brown, squirmed more than a stone of parsit fish. They threw the net to the planking and, with knives, began to slice the heads and tails from the fish. " Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 75 ~才 "The men who had fished with the net had now cleaned the catch of parsit fish, and chopped the cleaned, boned, silverish bodies into pieces, a quarter inch in width. Another of the bond-maids was then freed to mix the bond-maid gruel, mixing fresh water with Sa-Tarna meal, and then stirring in the raw fish." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 78 ~才 "Like the bond-maids, she had been fed only on cold Sa-Tarna porridge and scraps of dried parsit fish." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 69 ~才

Sea-sleen In the polar seas there are black sleen, brown sleen, tusked sleen & flat-nosed sleen. Hunted by the red hunters.

"The red hunters lived as nomads, dependent on the migrations of various types of animals, in particular the northern tabuk and four varieties of sea sleen. Their fishing and hunting were seasonal, and depended on the animals. Sometimes they managed to secure the northern shark, sometimes even the toothed Hunjer whale or the less common Karl whale, which was a four-fluked, baleen whale." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 36 ~才 "Sleen, interestingly, come northward with the parsit, their own migrations synchronized with those of the parsit, which forms for them their principal prey. The four main types of sea sleen found in the polar seas are the black sleen, the brown sleen, the tusked sleen and the flat-nosed sleen. There is a time of year for the arrival of each, depending on the waves of the parsit migration. Not all members of a species of sleen migrate. Also, some winter under the ice, remaining generally dormant, rising every quarter an Ahn or so to breathe. This is done at breaks in the ice or at gnawed breathing holes."

Snails

"Once the Forkbeard went to her and taught her to check the scoop, with her left hand, for snails, that they not be thrown overboard. Returning to me he held one of the snails, whose shell he crushed between his fingers, and sucked out the animal, chewing and swallowing it. He then threw the shell fragments overboard. 'They are edible,' he said, 'And we use them for fish bait.' " Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 77

Whale

"The men of Torvaldsland had not sought the whales. They had meat enough. They had barely taken notice of them." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 78 ~才 "The red hunters lived as nomads, dependent on the migrations of various types of animals, in particular the northern tabuk and four varieties of sea sleen.

Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 36 ~才 "Two weeks ago, some ten to fifteen sleeps ago, by rare fortune, we had managed to harpoon a baleen whale, a bluish, white spotted blunt fin. That two whales had been taken in one season was rare hunting, indeed. Sometimes two or three years pass without a whale being taken." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 265

Wingfish Small blue fish is considered a delicacy, the livers are even more so.

"'Now this,' Saphrar the merchant was telling me, 'is the braised liver of the blue four-spired Cosian wingfish.' This fish is a tiny, delicate fish, blue, about the size of a tarn disk when curled in one's hand; it has three or four slender spines in its dorsal fin, which are poisonous; it is capable of hurling itself from the water and, for brief distances, on its stiff pectoral fins, gliding through the air, usually to evade the smaller sea-tharlarions, which seem to be immune to the poison of the spines. This fish is also sometimes referred to as the songfish because, as a portion of its courtship rituals, the males and females thrust their heads from the water and utter a sort of whistling sound. The blue, four-spired wingfish is found only in the waters of Cos. Larger varieties are found farther out to sea. The small blue fish is regarded as a great delicacy, and its liver as the delicacy of delicacies." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, pages 84 - 85 ~才
