A cusk-eel looks like an eel, but it is really a long, pink fish. In Chile it goes into a soup so famous that a poet wrote about it, and Chile's team won two Copa Américas in a row. This one thinks a poem about those wins would be even better.

On Futbol Island the pink cusk-eel can be caught at:

• West Cove: A windy cove on the west coast where a little stream meets the sea, so river fish swim in beside the rays and sharks.

Size on the island: 50–150 cm.
