...and the process of oolating is presumably also fictional.
Now when we started here this thread on the topic of Squigg here, it occurred to me to ask that how the "oolated Squiggs" has been interpreted in different countries? In Finland, it has been interpreted as a cod-like fish, which is related to trout or arctic char and the oolating is a special way to coarsen this slicky and slimy fish by this special roughening which is called as oolating. This has probably been the imagination of Finnish editors, but I think at least a good attempt to explain that which fish is "squigg" and which verb is "oolating".

In Norway, "oolated squiggs" got translated as "sour salted sticklebacks". I'm no big fish expert, but I think this is normally used as lobster bait.
