My World for this week, do check out all the other lovely posts on this Meme from all around the world.
Buying Fresh fish in Picton.
It is illegal for the fishermen to sell their catch off their boats to the general public, they must sell to the Fisheries so it can all be counted against their Quotas, but This Lady fisherman is different, she has applied for and got a special liscence to allow her to sell from her own boat to anyone. We are amoung her good customers, from our house we can see when her ship leaves port and when it returns so we are always there to buy fish for our dinners..
Caroline not only catches and sells the fish she also fillets it while you wait. The fish is stored in the pale blue bin, you can choose your own fish from there. She usually has many different species to choose from at all different prices, but none of them too expensive. Butterfish is one of the more expensive because it lives among the kelp and rocks so is more dangerous to catch. It has green bones which is quite interesting and pretty.
Here she is weighing our fish, there is a red Parrot fish, 2 Kelpies and a bigger Butterfish., we dined well for several days from this catch.

That's really fresh!
Over here for buyin very fresh fish we must drive 2 hours and more. Fish I can buy in my town is not as fresh as in Picton.
When we go on vacation in Martinique Island in West French Indies, we go to a port and buy very fresh lobsers. Sometims we are waiting for the fishmen.
Thanks your your comment on my last post, Glennis.
That is fun to know that. Thanks for sharing.
Why is Caroline so special? Is she Maori?
Glennis: That was a neat story with wonderful photos. I can't believe she is on the boat in bare feet. I would never consider doing that.
How fresh is that?! Looks yummy, and fun to boot.
ohhh

A blogging friend in New Zealand! Yippie! And what a lovely place and wonderful photos! I live next to the ocean and may also find things for the pot, but at the moment we hope that somebody will teach us about what is edible!

Oh you are so lucky Fresh fish. I like fish but find it quite expensive in NZ
An enlivening blast of colour from your header, Glennis, when the page came up.
I really enjoyed this post. It is short enough for me to enjoy and to concentrate on in the brief moment I have for blog reading this morning but I have come away knowing much more about the world than when I arrived . . . about fish, cooking, the law, politics, entrepreneurship, enterprise and imagination.
The images will stick in my head for further reflection.

Now that's lovely - buying fresh fish off the boat... mmm
Love the photos. Stop, you're making me hungry.
glennis,
you are so lucky. we also can buy fresh fish. i live in a port town on lake huron, but im not sure if its right direct off the boat. and this is fresh water not salt.
i like buying it smoked.

Fresh fish, wow, they look delicious...Thomas
Hi Glennis, now that is really fresh fish. I love that Caroline walks in bare feet. Why is she allowed to sell directly to the public? To answer your question about the shofar on my post today : I personally think it sounds like a cow moo-ing! It actually sounds a bit like a trumpet - only much louder. John has had it since August and can blow it very well already. He takes groups of people up the mountains as part of his job and the sofar is part of his ministry during the hikes. I LOVE this blog of yours and will add myself as a follower if I can.
It's interesting to see just how pervasive virtual memory has become in our everyday lives. It's like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB port . I guess it makes sense though, considering how much cheaper memory has become lately...
Gahhhhh... who am I to complain. I can't get by a day without my R4 / R4i!
