Quarruuk


The Quarruuk or needle fish is trapped by the hundreds from sloughs. It is about 2 inches in length with needles all around it. It is harvested during freeze up and through out the winter. Many people eat it frozen with seal oil or boiled.It is also used as dog food by many dog owners. Some even use it as bait when fishing over the ice for tom cods and/or smelts.
