There are several species of Trmjrt, the flesh of son* Digitized by Google TtOOT. §5 m'i' i i = ara=c==== i - is a red or pink colour, others yellow or white ; (this white Trout is the FonKge, or Fordich Trout, and lives mostly in the sea;) the pink is considered the best. However the moderns prize Trout for its delicate flavour, it was not held in any esteem by the ancients, for though they do, and always have abounded in lakes and other waters in the Roman empire, they are men- tioned only in... praise of their beauty in respect to colour and shape. Trout will live to the age of nine or ten years, and grow to a large size : 1 heard of one taken, some few years since in the river Stour, which runs by Canterbury, and falls into the sea at Sandwich, near Pegwell-bay, that weighed near thirty pounds ; and one was taken this summer (1814,) in the same river, which weighed eighteen pounds; those were the Fordich Trout. In Ireland, I am credibly informed, there is a species of Trout whose stomachs are as thick as a fowl's gizzard, and this part of the fish is served up alone, and is much prized as a great delicacy.
