Manny, you hit the nail on the head I'm sure. Dear ole Dad is as French as they come ..Manny wrote:SALMON wrote: Good catch..is Barbut the local name for bullhead catfish? Because we do have Ling or Burbot in the waters as well..
Barbut probably comes from the french name barbotte, which means bullhead. I am guessing that since Ottawa has a large francophone community, along with the fact that the nations capital is kinda welded to the second biggest city in Québec, the french term has rubbed off. We'll gett'em .
