Rodney's Chigasaki Fishing Trip

Early Saturday morning on October 7th, Rodney went charter fishing with a group of Honda members in Yokohama Bay. For 10,000 yen person, they were provided as much shirmp bait as needed to catch as many fish as they could.

The whole week prior to the fishing trip, we were hit by torrential rains from the typhoon, however, Saturday turned out to be a hot and sunny day. The beautiful back drop of Mt. Fuji in the distance added a nice touch to the trip.




Unlike his first fishing trip in August, luck was on Rodney's side. He was happy to catch seven fish called Aji and Bonito, plus three other "junk" fish, which were actually much larger in size, but was advised to throw them back in the water. That evening, Rodney cleaned and gutted the fish out himself (I wouldn't dare touch it). Thank goodness we have a sink conveniently located on our balcony.

After fileting the fish, I cooked it in broth and vegetables and made a soup dish. Oishikattadesu. (It was delicious). However, we've been told that preparing it as sashimi is most delicious. Guess we'll have to try that out next!
