Last Day - Ahi Poke and Sashimi for Brunch

Our duplex cabin neighbor gave us some ahi straps - time to make poke and sashimi. But we had to make a grocery run first because we didn't have sesame seed oil, good soy sauce, wasabi and a few other things (like a good knife). Ishihara's in Waimea had the sesame seed oil - and a really popular poke counter -

 

While La and I were out, we had a date chai (they call them "Dirty Chai's" - first time(s) I heard them called that).

 


 More chickens -


 

Back at the cabin - I had to use a 'serrated knife' to clean and prepare the ahi - OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

 

 I made the most of it (but for sure I'm bringing my own filet knife next time), and everyone made quick work of my work!!! Yummy!!!

Repeat Lunch

I had bought an extra block of ahi so we had sashimi for a second time. I showed Marlon how to form the rice patties and how to cut the ahi. They came out pretty good!!! I'd say the kids thought so too!

Multi-Tasking

Convergence zone - friends heard we caught some fish, guy in the background cutting up sashimi and the GT being printed up front. All these things help the time go by in quality.

The rest of the day

Came back from trolling and cleaned the fish we caught.

Ate some BFT as sashimi and poke.

Went fishing again (shoreline - with tenkara pole) and caught my first pompano! Just a small guy but good fun especially on the tenkara pole! Also caught a dart (but let it go).

I hooked up a parrotfish three times - the same parrotfish - and it broke me off three times. I am going to have to figure out another rig to catch it with....

Japan Again

I haven't been posting much because of travels and our pack out. I will try to post on the happenings over the past couple of weeks.

Here I am eating sashimi with a good friend Hideyuki Naito at a restaurant in Miura Kaigan (southern part of the Miura Peninsula).

Mmmm, mmmm good!
