Bahamas 5 - Whole Snapper

I'm going to say it. Last night (and the night before) I ate the best fish I've ever eaten in my life.

Big call.

Big D's.

Yes, I went off to Big D's two nights ago for dinner. Fortunately, there was no snapper fillet (no big snapper around at the mo), so I ordered the Whole Snapper. OH MY GOD. DIVINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Not one, but two whole snapper arrived on my plate. After the wrestling with bones on the first snapper, I became a lot smarter, and the succulent salty meat came off like a dream on the second fish....mmmmmm....seasoned so marvellously with a crispy crispy batter.

This made me an absolute pro last night when I went in for the kill - and I don't know if it was because I had great company (the yanks), or I was more experienced with the boning...but last night's fish took my breath away. I had to close my eyes to taste it, something some people find amusing. But to fully savour the flavour, one has to have all focus on the one sense of taste. Sigh...great gift of the sea, oh succulent, sensual snapper...siren of the universe...I am now totally and fully hooked!!

Oh, and the fun of seeing the bones on your plate after - reminiscent of a Tom and Jerry cartoon - both I and the waitress had a good laugh about that!!!

You can see last night's (Friday's) fish, above, whole, and then you can see Thursday's devoured state!!!!

Oh and I almost forgot - the envy shot - yes, well I was there today with the yanks, it's the Tropic of Cancer Beach (because it's right on the Tropic of Cancer) - it was our second visit there, and I think it is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, and swimming it is like simming in a ginormous swimming pool. Oh my god, I'm going to miss this place.
