Well, its time for another recipe. I tried this recipe last time I was down with Lee and have given it another go this weekend with improved results. The beetroot not only adds an almost out of this world colour but a lovely earthiness to the dish. So without further ado, here is the recipe! One side of kingfish (roughly…

Very quick fish in Eden.
I’m in Eden looking after my parents dogs. Haven’t had much time to go fishing, but did manage to get out for a few hours on Saturday. The forecast was for 25-35 knot winds in the morning, so it was a very relaxed start. At about 9 when we realized the winds weren’t going to be that strong, me, dad and a friend of…
Goals for the year- Galaxias, Hoodlums and Jewfish
Well, we are almost at the end of March and life has been getting in the way of fishing. Given I haven’t been out fishing since the beginning of March, I’m getting a little tetchy and am very keen to hit the water. In the meantime I’m going to write up a list of goals for the year. I figure…

My attempt at Bar Lourinha’s Kingfish Pancetta

A beautiful piece of kingfish cured in spices served bathed in oil with thinly sliced spanish onion and thyme. From my…
