From the sea

My man had his monthly fishing trip, since March. He goes for 3 days 2 nights trip, so he gets full load on every trip. 

On his latest fishing trip, hubby sold quite a lot of fishes he caught so this was whatever left  in the ice box when he came home on Sunday (coincided with Mother's Day) .

A couple of mackerels, grouper, snapper and few sea fishes I was unable to recognise. 

Cutting a mackerel

My own fishmonger who learnt how to clean and cut the fishes from friends while on the sea. He was quite an expert right now. He would cleaned and divided the fishes in bags for storing when reached home. 

A chunk of frozen mackerel

We did not wasted the fish heads especially mackerels. I cooked assam curry fish heads with them. 

A grouper for an aunt, weighing around 3.5kg. The aunt commented that she got to eat the fish for one whole week since only her and her hubby at home!! 

My sis' father-in-law loves red snapper and requested to buy from my hubby if he catches any. Of course, we didn't collect money from him. This 3kg snapper, a gift to him. 

The next day, a neighbour passed these shellfish over while I wasn't at home. I drove Jan to her school to collect her exercise book while the boys stayed at home. The neighbour who happened to be a mum of Jay's classmate, gave me some big prawns and squids!!! Oh my, so kind of her! I often passed fishes to her as we could not finished them  in the past, so that day she gave me the shellfish in return.

I took some of the frozen prawns to cook that evening. Steamed prawns are my favourite but as long as the prawns are fresh and sweet, any cooking methods are fine with me. How about you??

  1. Ooooo...lucky you! All that seafood, fresh from the sea onto your pan!!! Your hubby sells his fish? He must have caught quite a lot each time. I guess that is the best thing to do when one cannot eat it all and is giving them away all the time. If only I lived in Kuching - I would want to buy from him too, 100% fresh!!!

  3. What a meaningful hobby, doing what he likes and all of you get to enjoy fresh seafood. Fresh prawns taste good cooked in any methods but if got heavy sauces will cover their natural sweetness.
