Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Baby

 When talking fish, or any other food source for that matter, for example the porcini mushroom, the most adventurous, rewarding, and also tasty way of experiencing it is by procuring it yourself.

Yesterday I ventured out with Hamdi and a friend, two local fishermen, into the beautiful bay they ride their boat into and around every morning and afternoon.

We caught five fish, four with a simple line on which two small hooks baited with fresh sardine were mounted. The other was caught with a more sophisticated method as the boat was in motion.

Goat Fish (same genus of the Mediterranean Red Mullet (Triglia!)
