Hi everyone, Alaska, as you know, is famous for its fish. It's fish, fish fish all summer long and lots of fish have to be cleaned and cut up, and eaten too. There is also endless talk about catching, cleaning and eating fish. Well, there's a row of little tiny pin shaped bones embedded in the side muscle of many species of fish and Alaskans call them pin bones. I've seen many references to those unpopular "pin bones" in the newspaper and I've heard fishermen use the term "pin bones" in their everyday speech. They are always looking for an easy foolproof filleting method that leaves those bones behind with the skeleton. I can say with complete certainty those fisherman are not lacemakers and have never been exposed to any kind of lacemaking. It's my opinion that it's all just a coincidence. People who clean fish have long used the term "pin bones" for that row of tiny pin shaped bones and someone in the past has leapt to the conclusion that they were used as pins.
