FISHING WITH SANDOR AT SEABROOK ROCKS, MARGATE.
I went fishing the other day and caught this beautiful YellowTail off Seabrook Rocks, on Margate Main Beach.
I used a steel trace and a big top-bung (float) with a whole sardine.
What a nice catch it was; on that particular day the fishing was very bad so all the locals were cheering when I brought him up.
We cooked him on the fire and had an awesome lunch with my buddy Sandor, who came to visit us for the weekend.
Baby James had a ball playing outside and watching Sandor re-landscape the garden and rip out everything that could cause damage to the house, oh and he insisted on cooking and cleaning as well. Perfect house-guest …. please come again soon.
Recipe.
- I gutted and cleaned the fish and then cut it from under its chin all the way back to his tail.
- We then stuffed it with Onions, Mushrooms, Green Pepper, lots of Garlic and salt and pepper.
- We then wrapped it in Tin-Foil and put it on the braai over hot-coals.
- After 30 minutes or so and a few flips we took it off and gave it a prick with a fork. (if the fork comes out clean, then it means that it’s cooked)
- We served this gift from the ocean with some home-made, thick cut chips and a fresh salad.
- Lips were smacking and a great meal was had by all.
Join me fishing anytime. Just give me a shout and we will work out a date.
