No vegetarians here!

At one time in her life, when Sharon and her then husband Rob were sailing on their boat in the Pacific, they virtually lived off what they could catch, trap, or harvest.  So soon after we cleared out of La Paz bay, Sharon dug out the fishing equipment and commenced to fish.  We had bought different types of lures and attachments and she was looking forward to catching something.  We have three rod holders on the boat, perfect for trolling for fish.  At first Sharon would hold the rod and feel for strikes, but finally she gave that up, put the rods in holders and tied them down securely.  Once in a while she would check on them, but mostly we just forgot about it, until………suddenly the rod doubled down, and started to screech.  Sharon grabbed it up and began the fight.  It was definitely a well caught fish, and after about 15 minutes of struggling the fish surrendered, and Sharon brought it on board.  It was a Trigger Fish and wasn’t particularly large, maybe a pound and one half, but would be a meal for two.  Sharon took a bucket and the fish and went up to the deck chairs on the foredeck and tried to remember how to go about preparing the fish for food.  She had forgotten a lot of what she had known before, and it took some time before she emerged with a small plate of neatly prepared fish parts.  When we were in Loreo John and Niki had introduced Sharon to ceviche, this may be spelled wrong, I am not sure, but it is like Sushi in that it is raw fish prepared with lemon and citrus juices.  Sharon loved what she ate in Loreto, and wanted to prepare our little trigger fish to be c  Supposedly the marinating of fish in lime, lemon, or other types of juices will actually “cook” the fish.  She made it and I ate it.  Luckily for me, there was a lot of other stuff in there, and I could not really tell what parts of it was raw fish.  It was remarkably good.  I was proud of myself for not throwing up, that would have just been rude.

eviche, and I promised to give it a try.
