Wow!  Can't think of a more perfect day.

As much as I love sashimi, it is hard to beat a good poki.  So jealous of that beautiful bounty!

salmon Hamachi Kama style is the best... poki is to die for... yummmm...!!!

Great pics. And now I'm hungry. My wife likes the collars. But I'll take an order of sashimi.
