Devilfish + Alaska wild rhubarb
<i>Myoxocephalus</i> is a genus of fish in the sculpin family Cottidae. Most species live in marine waters, but there are also three freshwater species, including two that occupy northern lakes (<i>Myoxocephalus quadricornis</i> and <i>M. thompsonii</i>). The name is derived from Greek <i>myos</i> (muscle) and <i>kephale</i> (head). (Wikipedia)
<i>Aconogonon alpinum</i>, commonly known as alpine knotweed, is similar to <i>Aconogonon alaskanum</i>, but differs in leaf size and achene characteristics. (Wikipedia)
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Devilfish and Alaska wild rhubarb, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
