Lampuki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lampuki is the Maltese name for the dorado or mahi-mahi, a kind of fish that migrates past the islands of Malta in the Fall. The fishing season for lampuki is end of August through November.
Fishermen cut and gather the larger, lower fronds from palm trees which they then weave into large flat rafts. The rafts are pulled out to sea with small boats. During midday lampuki school underneath the rafts, seeking the shade. The fishermen use large mesh nets to catch the schooling lampuki. The fishing method has not changed significantly since Roman times. The lampuki are used both for local consumption and export.
