There's something fishy going on


Day 14 (Tuesday – continued)

…Tracey ran into the bathroom to get dressed and I hastily put on my shorts and opened the door where I found Mrs Bolto holding a bag of fish!

It would appear that what Bolto was trying to tell us was that his wife would bring us some fish and show us how to cook it.  Mrs Bolto entered the apartment and proceeded to give me instructions.  Now, I’m not very good at receiving cooking instructions in English but in Croatian I’m completely hopeless.  Mrs Bolto then disappeared and returned with flour and oil by which time Tracey had reappeared and was able to receive further instructions on how to prepare and cook the 10 sardines and 2 other larger fish (not yet identified but which require gutting).

We are looking forward to tomorrow’s supper with some trepidation.  Thankfully, the rest of the night remained quiet and we did receive an early morning call to go fishing.


Day 15 (Wednesday)

The day began with a trip to the market for some salad to go with the fish and we spent the rest of the day on the beach psyching ourselves up for the evening’s entertainment.

The fish were gutted, prepared and cooked and they tasted lovely.  Please see before and after photos below.
