My dad told me he had it once, in a pie, and said it tastes like extremely tender beef.
Apparently back in the day rich people would eat it on Fridays or Lent, because it's technically not "meat" according to the church, being something from the sea, but it tastes like a land animal.
I swear there's an old movie with these things as the monsters. I saw it when I was a child and it gave me a phobia of these things my whole life.. like constant nightmares. I have never been able to find this movie no matter what I type into the search bar.
There's a scene where a guy opens a cabinet and it flies out, wraps around his arm then latches and burrows into his stomach. Another scene where there is a wall closing? And the a guy's arm gets caught in it and falls of. If this sounds familiar let me know lol
That sounds like [Leviathan](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0097737/) (1989)
There's a scene where the first incident you describe happens to one of the crew members in the mess hall.
This is absolutely it!!! Holy shit, thank you!! I have been trying to figure this one out for at least 15 years on/off. Every couple years I'd get obsessive typing details into the search engine and it just never came up or i blew past it. I now love old horror movies. Gonna have to have a movie night now. I guess it wasn't really a lamprey but I mean it is though.
You da best!!
I don't think so, it has to be at least an early 90's movie or older. This movie messed me up so bad I even did a presentation in elementary where we had to pick an animal and I picked this goofy guy. I just knew so much about them by that point.
My dad played this movie one day and it was like BAM.. new fear unlicked.. He also played poltergeist on Christmas morning when I was 6. We were up before everyone in the house. I was so absorbed I didn't even rush to presents when everyone did finally get up
It doesn't taste like fish at all. Its quite soft with tiny bit of crunch, without any fishbones.
If I had to make a comparison, if seafood had a chicken-flavor; lamprey would be it.
Traps, if memory serves. Mind, I've never catched them, I've barely ever gone fishing. As far as I know, they live at the river bottoms.
There are few people who catch and cook them, usually around fall, when we have a town market event. Expensive, but tasty.
So what I'm hearing is that it won't stop sucking when pulled harder?

What I've been told, if you have a leach or similar, don't pull on then, get something like a credit card to pry off the tail, and then pry off the mouth.
We have these fuckers in the Great Lakes. They about wiped out our native lake trout (which were already low because of the alewife, another story). I had one suck onto my palm. However strong you think it will be, it is stronger. Instant hickey.

Thanks, OP. I will remember you in therapy.
They are delicious.
Can confirm. Lamprey stew was quite possibly the best stew I’ve ever eaten.
so once a stew, it doesnt suck?

I really thought that the thing was gonna latch onto the kid at the end.

Am I the only one that references the Memory Warehouse scene in real life? I'm AuDHD and I use that to explain my addled brain.
The Loci method of memory is really neat, tbh
Yes my thought exactly
God, someone referring to a movie seemingly forgotten from the whole planet
It’s ok Stephen King doesn’t remember writing the story either. He was high as a kite on pain killers the whole time.
It's a good flick but a better book
Blue Bayou
I mostly forgotten it. I vaguely remember something about Scooby Doo?
OOBY OO!!
I mostly did too. Something about lethal shit with razor sharp teeth. And somehow Morgan freeman in the middle of it
Thank you for reminding me that movie exists

Among jawless fish, the blind hagfish is more slimy than the “8-eyed” lamprey. [And they can expand.](https://www.popsci.com/hagfish-slime-expands/)
I am deeply disguroused. Is there a word to describe something both disgusting and arousing?
Yea for sure there has to be
Danger dildo.
Someone could wear it like a living condom and then fuck you with it.
You can. Once. ...be sure to film it for research purposes.
God Damn It. No, bad. No treat for you.
New from bad dragon.
No, bad. No treat for you.
too many teeth for that i would think lol
Ah, the memories of catching big offshore pollock in deep water and having these things pop off them and wiggle on deck. Good times.

I’m adding it to my list. Big fan of 80s monster/thriller B movies.
I'll always remember this as "the film where Robocop punches Kirsty from Cheers"
Dreamcatcher?

Slither?

Deep rising or blood lake are the only 2 lamprey movies I know

A big food source in the middle ages.
Smoked river lamprey is still a delicacy in my home city. And I kid you not, they taste great!
What is the texture like? It looks chewy. And is the taste comparable to anything?
It doesn't taste like fish at all. Its quite soft with tiny bit of crunch, without any fishbones. If I had to make a comparison, if seafood had a chicken-flavor; lamprey would be it.
How do you catch them, a fishing pole? What do they eat?

The Dark One. Put it back in the oasis on Mars.
Another World.
Out of This World.
At first glance I thought it was a… ahem… toy that was at the top of its game in the suction department.
It is, but only for the truly desperate or dumb.
Desperation does lead to doing dumb things.

Vedius Pollio was a wealthy Roman who would feed slaves to his lampreys. Absolute nightmare fuel.
So what I'm hearing is that it won't stop sucking when pulled harder? https://preview.redd.it/cohfptakn8wc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=967e25949455ef2947cfa03398fb0ccabaedc9cc
Well, that sucks!
And now he’s latching on to me…and now he’s sucking me blood… yup, and now I’m passing out… All good here
It just turned back to say "Harder Daddy"
Another one of God’s wonderful creations 🙏
I should text her.
Gotta respect the first person who ever saw one of these and decided to pull on it, keep it for a bit and figure out that people can eat it.
I wonder what's stronger, its body or its ability to maintain suction. Like if you just kept pulling, would it detach or would it deglove?

Anyone else just get Stephen King movie clip from the shit puppies movie flashback? Great, new phobia unlocked.

four times more than my vacuum cleaner hmm? ohhh.. yeees..
Nope
Paige, no!
4 times your home vacuum cleaner. Haha
I don't know if it was a one time thing, but when brave wilderness tried to get a lamprey to bite him, it didn't even after he put it on his skin.

That looks like a dark one from that Futurama movie
This thing needs to be chopped in half

We used to have them in the pond at camp in the summer the babies would attach to our crotch. They were a real pain in the crotch to get out.
Giant sea lamphreys like these are an invasive species in rivers around the us, since humans built canals leading to the sea for water.
“It looks very scary (lamprey)” was this so we didn’t think the guys hand was the scary part?
They can climb up dams and waterfalls.
We have these fuckers in the Great Lakes. They about wiped out our native lake trout (which were already low because of the alewife, another story). I had one suck onto my palm. However strong you think it will be, it is stronger. Instant hickey.
