"He might like to swim a little...

...before his execution in my MOUTH!!!

Corinne: GROSS!!!

As indicated by the previous post, Nick and Daddy caught our first fish. I have no idea what it was, perhaps a small mouth. We caught it late in the evening and we let it swim in a cage before daddy executed it the next morning. There is nothing like cleaning a fish over a shot of espresso in the morning. [Yes, I brought the back-up espresso machine...]

Contrary to expectation, Nick ate and enjoyed that entire, small though it may have been, fish for lunch the next day. Recipe:

1. Remove head, guts, fillet then, using whatever magnifying glass may be on hand, tweezer out a the microscopic, transparent bones.


2. If you want to make it really appetizing, skin the darn thing.


3. Wash over-and-over again.


4. Pat dry.


5. Flour.


6. Heat skillet medium-hot providing enough olive oil to fry, but not immerse the fish.


7. Fry each side 2 mins until flakes.


8. Serve in tiny bites (to be sure if you missed a bone!)


9. Lick chops.
