Almost Seared Salmon

I've been a little gun shy with higher heat cooking lately - I've scorched a few meals and they didn't go down as well.  This salmon came out fine, but I think next time I'll reverse sear (cook normal like this, then finish it off with a real high heat flash fry.

Papio Dinner

Whoa! Late posting... been trying to work paperwork for closing on a house, looking for transportation options, and making bacon at the office. Sorry for the lack of posts folks out there who care. I have gone fishing a couple of times since the last Saturday at the Holoholo, but I didn't catch anything so I went sans post. I'll start posting more since a major effort at work has subsided. Starting here - this was dinner last Sunday - the two papio I caught at the fishpond. Really delicious fried crisp with only salt and pepper as seasoning. I was thinking about making some gyotaku out of these, but I got hungry.

Fried O'ama

I specifically targeted catching an oama so I could eat one.  I've read lots of articles about how they are excellent live bait, great dead bait and even feeding the fishermen.  Scaled, gutted, prepped, fried and eaten whole - it was really good!  I've eaten larger goatfish before (weke), and even though these are the same fish, the baby version tastes better.

I'm going to have to catch a bunch more when I get back - for bait and my belly
