This Fish Cray

 

Crayfish.

That sh** cray. That sh** cray.

These animals, are they animals? I am suspicious about their claim to be fish. They look like insects. Fish are not insects and neither is the reverse true. Refer to Mrs Nakaima, Biology teacher circa our days.  The animal kingdom is broken into distinct categories with no interlocking.

Insects are insects. That’s fine. Fish are fish. That’s acceptable. Fish are not insects, and cray insects cannot be fish. And if they are lying about who and what they really are, what else are they hiding? 

You know Crayfish are not native to Lake Bunyonyi. These particular ones are from Louisiana, a place in America that is not as interesting as Kabale.

The history of the  Bunyonyi Crayfish? Amin did it. 

As with many things Amin did, I don’t like they way crayfish look and I did not like the way they taste. I did not like seeing them and I did not like eating them. No part of my face enjoyed the encounter with crayfish and in that regard I was more at home with the people of Kabale. Paulo the chef, concurring with young Christopher the fisherman, told me that the cray “fish” is eaten by tourists and visitors, not the locals.
