While at anchor off the south coast of England we were fortunate to get one of those rare moments when the crew get to do a bit of fishing. It was a welcome break from the humdrum of short voyages and lack of sleep. I took a few photos of the lads fishing and then cleaning the catch. Later on we enjoyed some home made Filipino style sushi, with lots of fresh ginger and chilli, and a few cold ones to wash it down! Tasty.
Our catch was Mackerel, they have to be the easiest fish in the world to catch, they were just hopping onto the hooks and the boys caught about 6 or 7 kg in less than 20 minutes. They were teeming around the stern and the sea was alive with them. On the deck there were scales and hooks, and blood and guts. From sea to plate was quick, and the fish was sweet, and how it should be enjoyed, fresh.
