The old people also used to say that if you opened the shell on board, they would cut your head in two, you understand, and the first shell I ever saw...

Mar a déarfá eh

As you would say eh. .

I didn't know much about them, you know, but.

Ghearrfadh siad an cloigeann daofa agus tuige dá binn an bhfuil tú ag gearradh an chloiginn daofa deir sé dhá deireadh fear acu.

They would cut their head and why indeed are you cutting their head, he says, two of their men...

The skull of the wrasse A skull without rest A skull without rest there was nothing in it but its flesh do you understand and if you had nothing if you had no pollock or wrasse or anything else you would leave the skull on them you would leave the skull on them and he left the skull of the wrasse on it you would put it they looked at a skull without rest, by dad and they would take off the skull as soon as it would be pulled into the boat That is the thing the old people before this would do but you wouldn’t have time now nor would you do that when you would be at the thick end of the table, you know, as you’d say and cleaning fish from them, you know you wouldn’t have time with the wrasse, you know, to cut it, you know you’d have to wait until the nets were brought in.
