Managed to put in some quality time in the water Wednesday. Met up with my dive partners and got in the water around 8. We dropped in and was greeted by a massive school of rockfish, mostly blues but blacks, kelp and olives in the mix. Took a couple of dives to the bottom to see if there were any lingcods but unfortunately there were none to be seen. Did find a good size greenling hiding in a tight crevice so lined a shot and got my first fish of the day. Took a couple of more drops to the bottom but after 20min or so decided to switch up and thin the rockfish school a little bit. After 40min the swell started to pickup so loaded the kayaks up and headed back to shore. After everything said and done i harvested 7 rockfish and 1 greenling. Now time for some fish tacos!

Spicy cilantro cream sauce:
Bunch of cilantro (more or less to taste)
3-6 cloves of garlic (based on personal taste)
5-6oz of sour cream
2-3tbl mayo
Juice of a lime (add lime zest as well if you like)
Salt and pepper to taste  (I use tajin seasoning instead of salt)
2 tbl of favorite hot sauce (more if you like spicy, I personally use tapatio or pepper plant)

Add all ingredients to a blender/food processor and blend until smooth. Keep sauce cool and it will last a couple of days

I usually have a homemade chipotle sauce but will give that a try.  More options can't hurt.

Thnx for the kind words all. Dirkbeachman definitely don't let the lady friends know you have fresh food and can cook! You'll end up cooking 24/7 lol. I need to put together a food porn thread at some point, just don't let the secret out :smt002
