Garfish
The garfish (Belone belone) belongs, like the flying fish, to the Belonidae family. She's a migratory fish which can be caught along the Dutch coast from April. The garfish can grow to a meter in length and weigh a few kilograms. She's a fierce predator that survives by hunting for pintail (herring, sprat) on the surface of the water. The fight is particularly exciting when the garfish, once hooked, starts 'walking' on the water surface. The season usually lasts until the end of September.

The pike (Esox Lucius) always had a special meaning in Russian culture. In pre-christian religions the pike was a symbol for death en the guardian of the underworld. Later on the mythical attributes changed. Like in the folk lore of 'Yemelya the blockhead' (by order of the pike), where a big pike spoke to her happy captor and convinced him to put her back, in exchange for unlimited wish fulfillment of course...
​
Times have changed. Still, we, at Esox Talking, believe that a pike can speak, even if only to our imagination. It inspire to go further, to explore and evolve; to push the boundaries.
