Which is correct. It's a fish living mostly in the danube regions and eastward of that. BTW, a lot of bones, not very delicate flesh :-(
But I'm really surprised at the fact that anyone outside middle-/eastern europe ever noticed the existence of this creature :-)
Paul told us at the Paris Zope conference that it was in fact a Britain word. But does anyone know the actual meaning of "Zope" in Britain ??? P.-J.
