Our friend Jim loves to fish but doesn’t eat fish. Lucky for us. We had nearly ten meals in the Andamans complements of Fisherman Jim, including grunt and barracuda. When Darrel cleaned the barracuda, he took the remains to Jim to be used in his crab pot. Mate, said Jim, you’ve got to take the rib back and toss it on the barbie. Bloody good, mate.
He handed Darrel the barracuda’s backbone and all the spiny bones and meat attached to it. We covered it in salt and pepper and threw it on the barbie (Q), cooked it for a few minutes, and then enjoyed one of the best fish feasts we’ve ever had. There was a lot of tender, juicy meat on the “rib”.
Those Aussies know how to enjoy their fish, even when they don’t like eating it.
