> What exactly *is* a vampire devilfish? I chose that on the reader poll, because I assumed a devilfish is a stingray or manta ray. I never heard "vampire devilfish" before but I know rays are called devilfish in some places. Meat from the wing flaps is a delicacy. I'd eat kelp too, in fact I have, and it's nice.

I had no idea what it was, but I chose it because I remember reading, years and years ago, in Island of the Blue Dolphins, that they tasted good.
