I thought the idea would be an intriging thing to adapt to fishing.
So far my only idea so far is this:
Firefin Snapper
A distant cousin of the Oily Blackmouth. The firefin snapper is unique among other fish due to it poscessing a gland which secreats(sp?) a highly flamable type of oil.
This is used both as a method of defense and also as a way to catch prey, when it is injected the oil cooks the victim internally. This oil destroys any harmfull bactaria which might kill the firefin.
The oil itself can be extracted by a trained alchemist and is highly prized by practitioners of the arcane arts due to its ability to amplify the power of fire based spells.
The oil can also be mixed with the flame retardent liquids produced in fire breathing reptiles, this creates a highly fire resistant elixer which can be used to survive highly volcanic locations.
