First fish for dinner

Some of our dearest friends here recently purchased a boat and they have been kind enough to take us out on it a few times.  The first time, wouldn't you know, was pouring rain and despite our best efforts we didn't even catch any fish.  

The girls were fascinated by watching Trevor bait the hook with herring.  And held tight to their poles in hopes a great king salmon was going to give them a nibble.  

Our second trip promised better weather and as it turns out, better fishing.

We thought for sure Graham had hooked a halibut...but no, just a sculpin "lovingly" referred to more commonly as a double ugly.  Cora calls is a double disgusting.

But then Graham pulled up a rockfish!  We kept it, filleted it and had it for an appetizer with our dinner.  It was delicious!
