Discover the intriguing world of the Megrim or Whiff, Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis, a flatfish once depicted in this exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving by Edward Donovan for his "Natural History of British Fishes" published between 1802 and 1808. Known for its unique appearance and versatility as a food source, the Whiff, also called Carter or Queen Sole, was a popular catch for fishermen. This engraving, titled "Whiff (Pleuronectes megastoma)" and dated 1804, showcases the fish's intricate details, from its mottled skin to its distinctive eyes. The French term "Fr. Rev." in the bottom left corner refers to the fish being served "en papillote à la rémoulade," a classic French dish where the fish is cooked in parchment paper with a tangy remoulade sauce. The term "Grapeshot" in the title refers to a type of ammunition, but in this context, it is used metaphorically to describe the delicious morsels of the Whiff, making for an intriguing and culinary-inspired caption.
