It is cooked in the same way as other species of fish, including smelt and whitebait. It belongs to the same family as carp.
A gudgeon is defined as the hole in which the pin from a rudder, which is mounted on a stem, fits. The pin is known as a pintle. The rings which make up the hinge assembly for a rudder along with the pintles are also known as gudgeons.
It is the hinge section of a gate, which is also sometimes called a hinge pintle socket. It is a horizontal rod that has a hole through which a pintle, or a vertical pin, can pass and pivot. One end of the rod is secured to the post of a gate or a wall. The pintle is a part of a unit which is shaped like the letter L of the English alphabet. One leg of the L-shaped unit is connected to a gate or door, the hinging mechanism of which is made up of a combination of the gudgeon and the pintle.
