Last fishing trip of 2010=first sushi of 2011

John, Brenna, our friends Ron Y., Reid and Chandler L. all left for the Bahamas last Wed....hoping to find some wahoo. (and more)
Originally they talked about staying through New Year's Day...but after I asked them whined a little to come back New Year's Eve...and they did. (It's a good thing too...because it was kind of rough coming back...although they had a following sea...and it only got worse the next day.)
They weren't really back in time to do anything NY eve...but luckily for them I stopped to get some food and wound up staying an hour with friends at Longdogger's and that was enough to satisfy my wanting to go out anywhere. Plus there was the promise of fresh fish while we watched the games on New Year's Day.
1/1/11. Ron came over and cleaned the fish...with John & I, Reid & Chandler, my brother Mark, our friend Charlie and friends Tom & Teresa S. and Tom's brother Eric watching. We enjoyed the mild temperatures, some cold drinks.. and winning teams (way to go Gators!& Crimson Tide!) and ate lots of fish fresh and straight from the cleaning table.
Our good friend Heather, who is always willing to give advice where the pets are concerned...invited us over tonight for sushi. Chris had all the needed supplies...rice, wasabi, vegetables like peppers, cucumbers, avocados, spring onions...etc. Mike and Denise brought some lobster claws and Mike's (famous)lobster casserole. Chris and Heather prepared all the sushi ( with wahoo and snapper caught by John and crew and lobster from Mike) along with salad and miso soup..and we all ate like kings and queens. A great way to start off the new year.
But after fish for 4 days in a row...even if it was super fresh and very tasty...tomorrow night we are having hamburgers!
