Hooligan

The annual run of eulachon, known locally as "Hooligan" occurs each spring around Haines.
These small smelt like fish are rich in oil, and are rendered for their oil. The
oil from these fish was such a valuable trade commodity that the original trails
from Haines into the interior were known as the "grease trails."

Hooligan oil is the condiment of choice for those who have developed a taste... Ron doesn't tell you how long it 'rests' in the pit :) cnl

This is a fascinating gallery. I love the variety of creatures that profit from the hooligan run.
