LAFAYETTE

or Spot, or Chub, a small, light-colored pan-fish (Leiostomus ranthurus), excellent in quality, weighing up to half a pound or a little more, common along the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. <A second ‘‘spot’’ of the same waters, averaging a little smaller but also very good, is Dipledus holbrooki. Among. its other names are ‘‘pinfish’’ and ‘‘Jimmy.’’ LAKE HERRING, or Cisco, a fresh-water fish (Argyrosomus artedi), with herring-shaped hedy and closely allied to the whitefish, which abounds in the Great Lakes region, where it is caught and consumed im great quantities. The average weight is about a pound. A two-pound disco is an exceptionally large specimen. The fish is also known loeally as blueback, greenback, and greyback—with or without the title ‘‘herring”’ affixed. The differing color descriptions are attributable chiefly to age, sex, and time of run.
