Oh, you guys are making me miss Newfoundland! I want lobster now, mmmm. We had a joke there because the lobster use to be so plentiful. The Poor kids brought lobster sandwiches to school and the rich kids got boloney.

Hey since you guys are talking about prices on seafood. How much do you guys pay per pound for halibut? I heard it is expensive just about anywhere except from where I live

Yes, sometimes a dollar lower but you have to know what time to get there. There's a strong asian community that buys where I go. That's a good sign in my book.

I used to throw real nice cookouts. sriacha shrimp, lobster, bbq chkn, zucchini grilled, fresh salads. Good times.

People drift in and out of your life then comes a time when they don't drift back, be it lifestyle change, death, or finding their own way.
Now the cookouts are a bit more personal, and less costly. I do always have a friend that makes a point to stop by in the fall, that's a good time still.

Pretty much everyone I know cant wait to get their hands on the red salmon or halibut that I catch. I'm fished out after 30 years so I just give the stuff away. I heard it was like 7$ a pound or some crazy price like that in the states!

We roast our own. The house smells like cholo heaven for about two weeks. We also hang ristras. This last year's batch is hot as hell and I spend a lot of time wiping my eyes and blowing my nose. But I can't stop. My dad used to work on a little old lady's wiring that lived down the road. She would call us if her heater went out or her lights quick working... or to change a lightbulb... raking her lawn... trimming her hedges. She sure made us work. But she paid us in tamales and rellenos. It was worth every rose thorn and bee sting. Damn she could cook. But that's how we spent our lives. Trading work for work or garden vegetables, sometimes fresh meat. Everyone had a particular skill and they traded off. ::sigh::

I'm feeling nostalgic.
