Description

Atchovi

Descendants of the earth Anchovy- the Atchovi are very large freshwater fish that live in the rivers of Khu. The Atchovi are a great delicacy among most races in the Core Galaxy. Their soft white meat is rich, filling, and flavorful. It’s been coined “white fish” for it’s color. Atchovi meat is considered by many to be the best tasting freshwater fish in the known universe. So it’s a very good thing they are such rabid breeders.

Atchovi can be seeded or farmed pretty much anywhere. The large eyeless fish have no skull and no bones at all. Only a hard cartilage spine with thick ribs that are attached to the internal organs within a sack. These are exceedingly easy to remove along with the rough scaly skin that comes off in one piece. The tender moist meat is good cooked or raw. All this makes preparing and cooking Atchovi foolproof. Atchovi is best served boiled -spiced with butter, garlic, lemon, and salt along with a little onion. –perhaps some soy sauce… Atchovi eggs are excellent as caviar.

The Atchovi is one of the primary sources of food for both the Solack and Myjikaa that farm them in great quantities. The two races share a deep fellowship. A hoop wherein both cooperate for the good of the Atchovi populations and their own wellbeing. Indeed the Atchovi are a vital part of the food supplies of most races.

But as usual Humans find a way to take things too far. Not surprisingly the once abundant Atchovi is extinct on the Human homeworld of Arcadia. The humans buy or plunder what they can. But planets housing large populations of Atchovi are kept at arms length away from the Humans. –whom think only to exploit them. To loot…

However- on the desert world of Khu as with so many other worlds- the Atchovi still swim free. Never has there been a better symbol for the bounty of the river. Indeed the sign of the Atchovi is synonymous with food and happiness. It is revered by the Myjikaa and respected by the Solack.
