Have you met John?

John Dory, that is.

Pretty pissed looking fish eh? I felt really bad pan-frying the guy.

On a more serious note, fish is indeed cheap here! The John Dory goes for $16 a kilo, which I thought was pretty cheap, given how my mum always tells me she’s paying $20++ for a small fillet of watchamacallit. And then the fisherman tells me the John Dory is one of the most expensive fishes around. More fishes for dinner I say!

It has taken a while to get used to some of their names and what they’re good for. There’s the Jewfish, the Warehou (pronounced ‘wah-hoo’), the leatherjackets (as opposed to the oceanjackets), the Morwong, the Sea Mullet Chermoula… all very foreign and confusing!!
