A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or piece of tissue from its normally contained space. In the abdomen, a hernia usually involves a piece of bowel, or omentum, which is a fatty apron that hangs down from the midportion of the colon (large intestine), protruding through a weak area in the abdominal wall.
Haddock and Cod are both endangered species fish-we eat far too many of them. The sustainable fish that has the nearest taste to both Cod and Haddock is Polluck-lovely white flakes of meat with a very delicate flavour.
American shad are the best known sport fish of the herring. They put up a good fight when hooked-the trick is in getting one to strike. The smaller herring-alewife, blueback herring, and hickory shad-can also be caught on a hook and line, but more often are caught by small scap (or dip) nets.
