The stout old pilot was the real skipper; and now that the vessel had come to anchor, he turned from his lighter duties to the grave pastime of the day, and fished earnestly through a large hole in the paddlebox, the porgies that came to his allurements arriving at their destination by a series of flapping manoeuvres from blade to blade of the wheel.
"Those are good-looking fish, but they an't made much account of," continued our friend, as he pushed aside the mackerel and took another tub. "They're hake, I s'pose you know. But I forgot, I can't stop to bother with them now." And he pulled forward a barrow full of small fish, flat and hard, with pointed, bony heads. "Those are porgies, aren't they?" asked Kate.
Perch, porgies, cunners, black-fish, weak-fish, maybe a bass or a sheep's-head, but more cunners than any thing else, unless we strike some flounders at the turn of the tide." "That's a big enough assortment to set up a fish-market on." "If we catch 'em. We've got a good enough day, anyhow, and the tide'll be about right by the time we get to work." "Why not try here?"
You'll miss the young ones by the dozen, come spring. I don't know myself but they move inland in the fall of the year; they're knowing enough, if that's all!" Kate and I stood in the wide doorway, arm in arm, looking sometimes at the queer fisherman and the porgies, and sometimes out to sea.
"'Golly! said that youth, in describing the circumstance to me, 'I had to ketch TWO porgies that day. "Miss Ringtop, who must have suspected the new relation between Eunice and myself, was for the most part rigidly silent. If she quoted, it was from the darkest and dreariest utterances of her favorite Gamaliel.
The respect of the city boys for the resources of the Long-Island shore in a time of famine began to rise rapidly a few moments later; for, not only was one of Dab's baskets promptly laden with "panfish," such as porgies, blackfish, and perch, but two others received all the clams and oysters they were at all anxious to carry to the house.
The mackerel, however, is not caught solely in nets, but readily takes that oldest of man's predatory instruments, the hook. To attract them to the side of the vessel, a mixture of clams and little fish called "porgies," ground together in a mill, is thrown into the sea, which, sinking to the depths at which the fish commonly lie, attract them to the surface and among the enticing hooks.
This smaller fish or any found in any other fish may not be used as food. Salt fish should be soaked in fresh water, skin side up, to draw out the salt. Each fish is at its best in its season, for instance: Bluefish, Butterfish, Sea, Striped Bass, Porgies, Sea-trout or Weakfish are best from April to September.
