Summary: | shoal Although the men were already gone to the fishing grounds [in the month of June], the women, in order to sustain the table did some fishing of their own, in shallow waters. If they were lucky enough to catch a fair amount, some would be kept and a little would be sold. Since the woman wore shawls for warmth, and the fish were caught by them, everyone referred to the catch as "shawl" fish. [_Shawl_ much of a Nfld word? I wonder about this WK] No [sic] DEC. 11 1979 Used I and Sup Not used Not used
