A JENNY HANIVER FROM THE CFZ ARCHIVES

Just to compliment Karl Shuker's excellent article from last week about devil fish and Jenny Hanivers here is a picture of a Jenny Haniver from our own collection, which - like so many of the pictures we have posted recently - was taken at my favourite pecu;iar bar-cum-museum in downtown San Antonio, during my visit there in November 2004...

I have always fancied trying to make a Jenny Haniver of our own, but the weather has been so wet during the last few summers that we have not had the opportunity to sun dry anything, let alone a bloody great skate.

It is something that I would like for the CFZ collection, and apparently they are quite often found for sale in curio shops in the Canary Islands and suchlike places, so if any of you are on holiday this summer and feel in a generous mood you know what to buy your old Uncle Jon.....
