This thread just made me giggle. Flying fish! I know there are some, but
honestly, anyone really think about fish having wings? But we won't get
into the walking catfish when I lived in Bangkok :)
I've never seen skate here... the only time I've heard about skate is in it
is used to make "fake" scallops.
OB Food: Going to grill 1/2 lb. of andouille sausage and the last of the
zucchini squash today. A nice combination of spicy meat and a grilled
veggie. As usual, I'll brush the zucchini with a little olive oil, sprinkle
with salt & pepper and a little dried basil or marjoram (whatever comes
first from the spice rack).

Well now, we had suicidal fish. A few years back we had ponds & the
larger gold fish would jump out to their deaths. They likely saw it as
a better fate than waiting for the neighbourhood cats to visit their
favourite sushi bar ;)

I've seen flying fish on the ferry from Long Beach/Los Angeles to Catalina
Island. Very high on the cool-o-meter. Also cool, and something I doubt
I'll ever see, is manta rays breaching:

[For those who are easily offended by content, just scroll through the first
four pictures, which are actually of manta rays. The next few are Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle clips (why, I don't know), and at the bottom of the page
is an ad for adult personals which may or may not include pictures of
scantily clad women. Doesn't bother me, but it might others, so I'm just
saying.]

Well, they do... flying fish actually can soar through the air for
relatively short distances.

I had a college professor who asserted that flying
squirrel meat is frequently substituted for . . .
.. . . oh, never mind. :-)

My father was working on fishing boats off Chile and the Galapagos
Islands back in the 40ies. Told me they often saw manta rays jumping
high out of the water. And they had lots of flying fish land in the boat
(they take to the air when pursued by a predator, apparently). I had
one, stuffed with tobacco, as a kid. Maybe thumb-thickness, 5" long,
with a wingspan of 6-7". Amazing critter (and a nice Havanna scent).

Flying fish are common in the Gulf Stream. In my Navy days, we'd often see a
fish come out of the water, spread its triangular (and pretty-much
transparent) pectoral fins and glide for twenty feet or more.

No need: They're in Florida, and wreaking havoc among the native freshwater
species.
