|---|---|
| Fishing today - awesome. Ed caught a Skipjack, a Yellowtail and a Roosterfish. We released the Roosterfish. He also caught a seagull. Oops. Brent caught a Skipjack and I didn't catch anything except a bunch of awesome photos. Tonight we get to have dinner at Loreto Islas where they will serve us our own fish. | |
| I'm completely frustrated with going out in boats and spending most of my time uncomfortable because my stupid bladder is full. I'm going to buy a Stadium Gal and see if I can use that in future. More blogs about urination coming up... | |
| When we got off the boat today, we were met by a guy who could process our fish for us. We sent some with him to be smoked, which we can pick up tomorrow afternoon. The rest he fileted for us. Brent picked it up about an hour after we docked. We went past the Loreto Islas restaurant and talked to them and arranged to come past at 6PM for dinner, bringing our fish with us. We brought three pieces of fish in a Tupperware and they made us a lovely meal with rice, vegetables and three sauces. We all liked the green sauce the best. I can't remember the name. | |
| At the start of our trip, Ed told us that he knows one word in Tagalog: Mabuhay. I LOVE Mabuhay. I've started using it as my toast word. Best. Word. Ever. |

My fish dinner
I'm so bad at being a foodie I can't even remember to take a picture of my food BEFORE I eat it. Anyway, use your imagination to see my Skipjack, freshly caught this morning by Ed, prepared by Loreto Islas restaurant. The three yummy sauces are behind.
