gone fishing
yesterday: sunny skies, good weather...what better day to go fishing at bedok jetty...
i brought along my crab net just in case there were monsters out there waiting to be caught. but the monster i was expecting turned out in another form for my first catch of the day:
i suspect it's a sea cucumber of some sort...but it looked poisonous, so i didn't even wait very long to find out. but it did attract a small crowd to my humble net. hehe. fisherman pride! *thumps chest*
anyway, as the day wore on (we started at 2pm), NOTHING was getting hooked to anything...for anyone. but the view was nice...the singapore flyer (that's the huge ferris wheel smack in the middle of marina in case you haven't noticed) has become a part of the skyline already...so fast...
speaking of fast, it soon became high tide when 7pm rolled by...and with it, came a flurry of tamban fish. pretty soon, we had a whole bucketful of baitfish, waiting to be hooked and tossed out to sea in hopes of getting bigger fish.
alas, much as i wanted to make the fisherman's boast of catching a monster TTTTHHHHHIIIISSSS big, my integrity prevents me from it.
but in the end, we did end up with a pretty sizeable catch of 11 takehomeable fish...which were roughly around the size of my forearm (minus the part from my wrist to my elbow)...so that ain't too bad. it was such a sizeable catch that my friends even let me take it all home. thanks damian and gavin...i know you all claim not to eat fish, but come on...i know you're just nice people. haha.
eventually, after nearly suffocating the skymobile, i reached home and started scaling the fish...not an easy task for someone who's never tried it before. and btw, that's why our sink is clogged up (just for my housemate's info).
slept, woke up today and voila...butter fried tamban marinated with a pinch of garlic salt for lunch.
it was so good that i almost finished it.
i feel like i just ate a pet. i think i need to rinse my mouth with something...preferrably alcoholic.
but i can't wait to be "gone fishing" again...hehe.
cheers. =)
