Yes, it was. They're called oolichans which, apparently, translates as "candle fish" the story goes that sometimes they would put a wick in them and burn them for candles. As an aside, when I was a kid we used to wait impatiently for the spring oolichan run and have a few good feeds. They're a lot like an rich, oily smelt although they are a wee bit smaller. |
