The zurubì, a fish scarce inferior in size to the former, is not covered
with scales, but with a slippery skin of a greyish colour, and mottled
with large black spots. It affords white, solid, savoury, and wholesome
flesh. The vast weight of this fish maybe inferred from the circumstance
that when hung upon a pole, and carried on the back, it is enough to
tire two Indians.
