Catch of the Day.

I don't like the taste of salmon, so I would be even more disappointed.

Most seafood I can take or leave. I've been learning that this is mostly due to quality* and preparation. Unfortunately, most of what I've had (and would be willing to pay for) is too deficient in one or the other to be considered 'good'.

Yeah, I'm not big on seafood myself, but the fresh caught bluegill I had one year at my grandpa's was .

My dad said that perch taste way better, and due to their increase in size and numbers, we are going to ask permission to take some of them next year when the weather is warmer.

You have obviously never tasted Copper River red salmon (AKA sockeye).

Not sure if the salmon I had was that, but I know it was supposed to be a higher quality than normal.

I don't like coffee either, so I think it comes down to our tastebuds being different.

I didn't know catfish jumped. Too weird.

Some species even "walk"

It is not easy to get good fresh fish unless you live very close to the source. And freshness and proper handling are key.

While not so adept, we have seen them do pretty close to that when they try to get back in the water.

I knew they existed, but I haven't seen videos of it before.

I think it was Emeril that said if you can smell your fish, it's not fresh enough. Pretty much the only way to get it that fresh is catching it yourself or living near a fish market. I found out recently that Newport, OR (where we go to the beach) is a source for a lot of fish that gets sold down in San Antonio, TX.

Here are some pics of our recent catches.





Same fish, but the second one is for scale.







I caught 8 fish, my mom got 3, and unfortunately my dad didn't get any. I'm holding up my fingers like that for keeping count.

Do you have to wear those kinds of shoes? They don't look comfortable to me.

Sorry Carrik, not laughing at you.

Oddly enough they are one of the only pairs of shoes I can wear due to comfort. I think I got those more than 15 years ago. I just recently found a pair that can be used when these wear out. We put those slips of denim over the top to keep my feet from burned/tanned from the holes it has in them.
