Food

Food on the boat was always...strange...to say the least.  Not that I dislike strange food by any means, but some of it was out there.  So, meal times were at the end of the haul (6am), at the end of the set (3pm) and in the middle of the haul (11pm).  These may sound like very strange times with no real correlation to one another, and this is true, but they were the only times to eat.  You frequently had a huge bowl and would stuff it with rice.  After this, there was always the option of hot land food and sea food, always choices, however they may not have been....to many peoples likings.  The fishermen would always have to gut the fish and therefore intestines, stomaches, ovaries, and testes were always at the table.  Also the cheeks of tuna were there which tasted great.  The intestines though, were quite chewey and contained a lot of cholesterol according to the crew, not exactly my cup of tea.

What was really good though was Ice cream!  yes, there was Ice cream on the boat and I had it for my birthday!  Otherwise, there were some strange things I had to get used to like eating with my hands again.  This boat, a lot like indonesia, was well...foreign, and the people on it preferred to used their hands to eat everything.  No forks or knives or spoons or even CHOPSTICKS!  just your two hand plowin away at the food.  Kinda gross I know but eating with utensils when I got back to mainland was really a treat.  Oh and on a side note, I am forever spoiled with sushi/shashimi seeing how i got to eat THE FRESESHET shashimi in the world  RIGHT off a yellowfin tuna with a sharkbite from the water, like just took a bite outta it!  Well, no pictures today, but next time, a special on fish where i'll show plenty of them!  Until next time
