Also called 'small catfish." It mostly stays in the sea, but goes in the lagoon and upriver in the dry season. It has a big "bone" (i.e., top fin) on top. You have to kill it to take out the hook, and chop off the head. It is not generally a preferred fish, but is usually eaten fried by those who do eat it. Miskitu people do eat it, so those Rama with Miskitu roots are the ones most likely to eat it. Miskitu used to change snook for tungki.
También llamado "pez gato pequeño". Permanece más en el mar, pero sube a la laguna y río arriba en la época seca. Tiene un gran “hueso” (Ej. aleta superior) encima. Hay que matarlo para quitarle el anzuelo y cortarle la cabeza. No es un pez apetecido, pero por lo general los que lo comen lo fríen. Desde el 2008, se ha visto disminuir las variedades de peces. Ahora se comen peces que antes no se comían. Miskitos y Rama con raíces Miskitas son los que más lo comen. Los Miskitos solían intercambiar el róbalo por el bagre. Se dice que se vende a buen precio en Costa Rica. - Léxica:
Also "tongki." Borrowed from Miskitu. Both Rama and Kriol. See also 'walah'.
