I miss the days when my father-in-law had a deep-sea fishing boat. He got me hooked on fishing that way and then sold the thing. Sadness. Now you’re showing me this and making me wish I was back out there so I COULD catch a fish with my own hands, make this and then chow down. It looks and sounds delicious.
