albacore

randy, did I get you again?  .

Well, after sleeping in and scalding myself making coffee, I put a NRS fingerless paddling glove over the gauze
(those things are great!) and walked over to the mountain view farmer's market.

I was hoping Patrick of Mission Fish would have some albacore and they did. They said it was caught last night,
well you never know if that is quite true although as a rule, quality of fresh fish there is topnotch.

Only $9 per lb, so we pigged out on the albie poki, even my older boy had some (hold the red pepper flakes dad).
It was indeed very fresh tasting. Seems cheap, how can they make money
on that with fuel prices what they are? I guess with albies it's feast or famine, so when you can get it the
price is low?

Someday I will catch one of those,  but I concede it will be from a boat, unlike the salmon which will be from
a kayak or the fish market but not from a boat.

Too hot to fry up my rockfish from yesterday so I am testing out my new mini-chief smoker.  probably will
just ruin the first couple filets, but I have to learn somehow.

So who won the HMB tourney? Did I miss the post, is it in some strange section I don't know about?
