Autumn is the time of burbot

Burbot is a freshwater fish of the cod family. Its annual life cycle is very different from all other species of fish living in our waters. In warm time of the year burbot passive and prefers to lie down in a burrow or under rocks, and eats seldom, once a week.. But with the onset of autumn and cold weather, this fish revives and begins to hunt for their victims - small fish and various invertebrate inhabitants of rivers and lakes. Ahead - in January (February) - this fish spawning, and you need to gain strength and bear eggs...
In the catches of fishermen with spinning burbot-a rare guest. Nevertheless, with the onset of autumn, the chances of it catching with the jig method of fishing increase. Just the other day my nephew and student Daniel managed to catch burbot.Had 3 bites, but 2 fish came literally at the side of our boat, but the third fish was the trophy of Danka...

In culinary terms, this fish is very interesting. Like all cod fish, burbot has a very large and tasty liver. It can be cooked over an open fire with a little salt and seasoning. Burbot meat is also delicious, especially freshly caught. If you cook it on a fire in foil or on the grid-you will lick your fingers!)))
