What's interesting about sharks is they don't have a vent to let out their waste...if what I read is true. I have eaten young shark when I was younger but I won't again.Interesting on the sharks! What kind.? Arent they good eating too?
I like the accidental design feature. It looks like someone from above was having His say.?Good evenooning all.
Your fishing trip looked great Ray. Enjoy eating them!
Last night we had a hedgehog visit who couldn’t walk straight. We don’t think it was one of our regular.
So JoesDad and I raced out and grabbed it. The feed station proved to have an accidental design feature making capture easy! ?
I popped it in a large box with food and water and left it for the night in the conservatory. It clearly escaped, but returned to sleep in the box by the time we got up. So my first job this morning was to take it to the rescue. Given I had appointments from 10am, it was something of a rush, but I managed to get there and back in time!
I have a shift at 7am tomorrow, so I should be able to get an update. I’m not sure what time I’ll finish. They have nobody for the next two shifts

Very interesting!I did some research on this topic this evening. Some interesting tidbits on shark meat preparation....and why.
Can You Eat Shark: What Every Angler Should Know about Shark Meat -
Can you eat shark? The answer is yes! In fact, some species have meat that tastes like swordfish. Since sharks expel toxins through their skin, but with proper preparation and timing, the potentially foul taste can be elminated.

The second night for dinner. The captain fried up 2 groupers for dinner. When we got back to dockside. The captain and 1st mate and all my sons chipped in. They had a assembly line going. So it went from fish on the ground to fillets in vacuum sealed bags in about a 1 1/2 hrs.That looks like a few fish fries waiting to happen before they head home.? Whose going to clean em all ?
According to the captain, the shark population has been getting worse for almost 10 years now. We never got a look at the sharks except for 2. Because they would break us off. I cant remember what the 2 we boated were. After a shark bit off half of one of our king mackerel. It hung around for awhile. Buy the fins and tail sticking out of the water. The captain knew it was a hammer head. Estimated to be about 14 feet. It stayed about 30 yards behind the boat, waiting for another easy snack. I have eaten mako,thresher and black tip shark. But from what I hear, some taste horrible.Interesting on the sharks! What kind.? Arent they good eating too?
That's a kick-a** looking leg, dude. Very handsome. So glad you got the time on the water with your sons. We're expecting great fish recipes from Rose.Well my leg came late afternoon today when I got home. Now you can see why I wanted it for the trip. But in reality I wouldn't have been able to walk with it. With the seas being so rough.

that WAS being a good dad Ray! i wouldn’t take anything in the world For my fishing trips with my dad... and he liked to “have his fun” also.. Your boys will never forget thatIt was a good time, even with the little rivalries between 2 of my sons. Sometimes they don't play well together.??
They were worried who was catching more fish or bigger fish. ?
Instead of being the good dad. I would add fuel to the fire with sarcastic comments to both of them. So I had fun in all aspects of the trip.??????
Thats such a lovely picture!Sr breakfast this morning.. Jess has conquered through all of the BS.. I’m a proud Mommy !!! View attachment 324167View attachment 324168

Our temps are only averaging about 10C/50F give or take a couple of degrees for the next week.Here we are still in April with another 80 degree day. I was able to muster up three others & get out kayaking.
On the gardening front, we already have a large banana pod flowering & s(owing its baby bananas.

I know in some cultures shark fin soup is popular but the awful thing is they catch the sharks and cut off the fins then leave the shark alive dying a horrible death because it can't swim. There is footage of it somewhere and it's heartbreaking. ?I did some research on this topic this evening. Some interesting tidbits on shark meat preparation....and why.
