The WHOLE fish

Feb 25th Thursday :
Salvador, the fish/shrimp/lobster man, came to the door this morning. He comes by every week and I was waiting for him because we brought curry & coconut milk & basmati rice from the states in order to make shrimp curry. YUM!

Also I wanted some fish but Joey had forgotten we had spoken about this
I was in the shower & could hear Joey talking to someone but had no idea it was the fish man. When I got out of the shower Joey told me that Salvador was the one he had been talking to.. Oh well, we’ll wait another week for the seafood.

We didn’t actually need to wait another week because when Joey remembered that that the kids, Erlan & his new bride Rachel, would probably be coming down before Salvador would return Joey got into the car & chased him down. What a guy!

Bottom line: we DID end up with ½ kilo of nice sized shrimps, 1 kilo of some fish filets & one complete red snapper about 2 feet long! It’s the first time we ever purchased a whole fish.; let alone try to cook one. It’s really pretty to look at too. The innards had already been cleaned out, otherwise we never would have purchased it. It WILL be a new adventure of sorts to cook this thing! We probably won’t be ordering anything more from him this trip!
