About Those Fish

 In a previous Sunday Selections I showed some fish that had been caught by my brother's friend, stating that I couldn't remember what type they were. 

Here's a reminder picture:

I texted R last night and got an answer this morning.

The smaller fish are Nanagi and the larger ones are Red Emperor.

So now we know.

    I know the Red Emperor but not the other Nanagi, which sounds like an aboriginal name.

      Me too. Red Emperors are particularly good for us because we don't like meat.

      Andrew and hels; sadly I will never know how these taste, living so far away from them. maybe one day I'll check the fishmarkets and see if they have any. I agree Nanagi sounds indigenous.

      Ruby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; they do look great and I hope brother and his friend enjoyed them. I'm guessing quite a lot went into their freezers.

    Fitting last name. Mine translated is Emperor and my calendar today stated: "I am not small! I am a concentrate." Dad named me Flavia due to expecting my hair will turn red-dish. Now I feel like a big fish ;-) Just as in alive!

Sunday Selections #754

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

How much??

 Every few months since I've had her, Lola has been taken to the vet, just seven minutes walk away from home, for a "manicure" aka getting her talons clipped.

Disinfected as soon as I got home of course, I've no wish to get sick from cat scratch fever!.
