煎烤鮮魚 Pan-Fried or Grilled Fresh Fish

兒子很小的時候，他爸爸便四處帶著他去釣魚。開始時也只是河流溪澗，或湖塘之間。後來兩人出深海去，容易暈船浪的老公便把繫魚絲魚餌的責任交托給兒子；釣上來的魚，解釣的工作也是兒子兼辦。

這天兒子回家，突然說很想出海，吹吹風釣釣魚。他爸爸自然開心不已。

When our son was little, his dad took him everywhere to go fishing.  In the beginning they only went to fish in rivers or lakes, but before long they started going out to sea.  Husband suffers from sea sickness most of the time,  so he taught our son how to tie the line and attach the bait. This became our son's main task, and he was responsible for unhooking the fish too.

The other day when our son came home he suddenly suggested that we go out to sea, enjoy some sea breeze, and do some fishing! Naturally, his dad was overjoyed.

本來想坐 6 或 8 小時的船去釣 Pollock 和 Sea Bass, 但都滿額了，只餘下三小時釣 Mackerel 的。沒有選擇餘地，我們也欣然出發上船。

We were going to join one of the 6/8 hour boat trips to fish Pollock or  Sea bass but they were fully booked, so we only got the 3 hour Mackerel fishing boat left.  Although there weren't any other choices, we were happy to go.

女兒有事剛回倫敦，只我們三人同行。兒女們大了，一家人同時在一起的機會愈來愈難得。

Our daughter had to go back to London to sort out something, so there were just three of us.  When your kids have grown up it's not easy to have a whole family being together at the same time. 

我們三人才釣到三十多條 Mackerel。雖然收獲不大，但充滿了海風和清新空氣的胸肺，有說不了的舒暢感！

釣到的魚要即時把腸臟取出，才可保持新鮮。海鷗們都尾隨而來搶吃拋出去的魚內臟。

Between us, we only managed to catch about 30 fish. Not a great amount (we've caught many more in the past!) but the sea breeze and the fresh air filled our lungs, and the feeling was amazing! 

第ニ天我們便用鮮魚作午餐。老公把魚片成魚柳。他提議煎，我想烤，最後我同意兩個辦法都做。

The next day we wanted the fresh fish for lunch.  Husband helped me fillet some of the fish.  He wanted me to pan-fry them, I wanted to grill.  In the end, I did both. 

配糖醋香蒜燴番茄。

With Vinegar, sugar and garlic braised tomatoes.

送白飯青菜。

Served with rice and vegetables.

簡單美味。

A simple but delicious meal.
