There are numerous spellings and names of the
Oolichan fish.
Oolichan
Eulachon
Candle-fish
Thaleichthys Pacificus
Hooligan
Ooligan
Uthlecan
Smelt
In March, a month earlier than the Fraser,
the Oolichans enter the Nass River.
The Natives in the area, used this little
fish for many purposes.
Trade being one of the, thus the Grease Trails were formed.
They can be eaten cooked, dried, smoked, or rendered for oil.
The fat was collected by steaming the fish with hot stones.
When it was cold the fat looked like lard.
These little fish also come up the Skeena River.
Today only the natives are allowed to fish for them.
Being so small they are netted, from the shore and boats.
Another use of the fish was for light.
Fish strung on string (wick) 2 yards long, and nailed to a board,
were lit and this created a torch.
This is where the name Candle-fish came from.
found this in an old 1906 book.
Disclaimer
I am an Amateur Historian, and Genealogist.
I use every source I can find, old newspapers, census, archives,
etc.
I do a quick search for the names on these pages.
Therefore I do NOT profess to have 100% accurate information.
Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it
takes me.
I do not charge for access to my pages,
I do not have any Ads on my pages.
Please "link" to my
page from Facebook, etc.
Please do Not copy the pictures, or text on any page.
Please do Not ask to use pictures etc. on Facebook.
A "link" to my pages, does the same thing.
Just copy the hyper link, URL, shown in your browser above,
and paste that into facebook etc.,
or copy the links I have on the left side.
That is the honest and descent way to to do it!
