Oyster stew and fishing boat.Barbara has been driving our quest for seafood for the most part. It's only natural, she spent most of her youth on the Pacific Ocean: Alaska, Hawaii, and San Diego. In Iowa, she has been just a bit more than a little frustrated when trying to get really fresh Pacific seafood.
To that end of trying to get really fresh seafood, yesterday we bought an 18 pound tuna (filleted down to about 8 pounds by the owner thank goodness) straight off this fishing boat ($24 for the fish and $4 for cleaning and filleting.
Last night we grilled about half of the tuna and enjoyed it with a great salad, lemon couscous, and a good white wine . . . my oh my, was it good! Today we will make fish tacos from the leftovers, and tuna salad with the rest. Most of the original fish we froze for later.
This morning we turned inland, our first move towards our return to the east. It's a bit sad, but there's still a lot we have planned between here and home.
