Went on a journey Wednesday down to the Mornington Peninsula to go fishing. It was a fun-filled morning. We caught octopus, squid, cuttlefish, pinkies, leather jackets, flatheads, parrotfish, some crazy poisonous fish, and a monster stingray.
We also managed to snag an albatross with a 5 ft wingspan. I was worried we were going to become the real life version of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". That's the last thing I needed was another bad omen. I already have a few proverbial albatrosses hanging round my neck. I did not want the real thing. As we slowly reeled in this giant bird, as to not hurt it, I found myself in a day-dream sequence paralleled with my favorite poem…
And in a sappy sitcom, end of the episode summation, we all have our albatrosses. If you have no idea what I am talking about then I suggest reading it!
Don't worry PETA, the albatross ended up getting untangled in a matter of minutes. Which is a good thing, because I didn't want to end up haunting people for the rest of my life telling them encrypted tales of misery and regret. Then, unharmed, the albatross departed, only after leaving us a giant slimy poo. I guess that is why its call a poop deck.
Anyways, we took the fish home and cooked up a massive fresh fish Thai green curry.
That curry looks stellar.
ReplyDeleteAnd crazy isopod on that filefish.
