Skip we are still waiting for a day to meet and I am getting hungry .............

If someone have a place where we can do a bbq or doing them al cartacio, i can bring fish for every one and bemore relax. But need to hurry cos only for two weeks more I can bring some fresh extra extra extra big mullets. (from clean place e....)

If you agree i can hold some in freezer and prepare them really nice.

I've updated the off topic post. As its winter and pretty cold I reckon we should leave a BBQ for summer though it's a nice offer. Let's meet up for drinks and some light food this time around and hopefuly we can get a good crowd. But we need the venue.

On thursday I went spearfishing. There were no fish but I managed to catch two nice octopuses. One 5Kg700g and another 2Kg.

On Sunday I caught for the first time a cornet fish and I am gonna taste it! I also caught a nice seabream shown in the pic.

That Octopus is massive man! Great Catch.....looks like a monster of the deep or something. I would have been scared of that!

Well done Arti, for that super Octupus!!! and for the other catches as well!!

Today, I also cought my first cornet fish, it think its becoming quite frequent in our seas as two weeks ago I also saw another one but was still small... Maybe its about time we shall give her a maltese name, like Kurunetta..

By the way, before I read in the forum, that the fish was very delicious, so I am going to cook it. But today, when I was getting out from water an English tourist came to see what I cought and he told me that this fish was very delicious, but before cooking, one should eleminate the bones as they are poisinous... Has anyone heard of this?

I did not hear that. Emicmalta told me that he cooked some steamed or in the oven. But what I know is that it has a very good and does not have small bones only one long cartilidge in the middle. I removed the long head and tail. cut it in small pieces. Add some spring onion, garlic, mint. Cover with thin sliced tomatoes and potatoes, Some olive oil and some more herbs on top and put it in the oven for 15min 175deg and voila!
