Thread: What is an LY?

One of our biggest problems is assuming that our way is the only/best way. Having traveled to 8 different countries and eaten a wide variety of cultural groceries, I can say that some stuff I'd have never considered eating was pretty tasty. I've spit a lot of nasty stuff out but if it doesn't offend the nose or eyes too badly, I'll give it a shot. :eat:

I've started calling them Scaled sardines instead of 'ly' because it seems silly to call them a bastardized name of an incorrect fish. I've been bitched out by a pier regular before who told me that they were NOT sardines.

The opposite of the truth, of course. :spank:

On the serious side, my "Saltwater Sport Fish of the Gulf" identifies an LY (as known locally) thusly:
