Doesn't matter how hot it is, we've got to eat. Salad apparently does not come under the heading of 'meal' and neither do sandwiches.
We eat fish at least once, probably twice a week. We still haven't worked out the portions for 2 people, greek people, even though the kids moved out over 15 years ago so one day we eat fresh fish, the next day leftovers and the cats get the tail-end.
Gavros, which I see translated as 'anochoy' and sardines are right in season now and K loves both. Sardines are grilled and served as-is. Anchovies are usually fried and sprinkled with vinegar. They are also very nice marinated in vinegar and olive oil with some garlic and parsley.
The fish at the top of the photo are for soup, kakavia. Even in mid-summer fish soup is on the menu
I was surprised to see Black Angus on the board outside the butchers shop.
Meanwhile the chook is hanging there in the window head and all. Ughh
Sometimes we are given fish. These fish are called tsipoura, sea bream, and were caught around the fish farm. They've either escaped or grown fat feeding on remnants of the fish food. Either way they are considered wild and are some of the best fish to eat grilled or baked

How wonderful to have such a selection of fish.
ReplyDeleteThe Mediterranean still does have fish thank goodness
DeleteYou would never starve there. Wonderful selection.
ReplyDeleteNo , there's still enough for everyone if we are not greedy
DeleteSo fish farms do have positives then! Snazzy apron.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the idea of fish farms but I do like being given these fish.
DeleteThey also give employment to some, cousins included, who really need the work.
We were also thinking about employment. They probably have better scope for paid work than the 'wild' fishing industry.
DeleteI was also admiring that apron, but I think the pink T shirt needs ironing 😉
ReplyDeleteThose wrinkles ain't coming out! In fact soon there will be a helluva lot more
DeleteI love fish, whole fish is the best. Unfortunately we don’t have any fish shops close. So we can only buy it frozen or in fillets at the supermarket
ReplyDeleteYour fish looks so fresh
Those fish had just come out of the sea. They fed three families, and then some!
DeleteThe Aberdeen Angus would be very nice.
ReplyDeleteAs we live 1000km from the ocean there is no such thing as 'fresh' fish here. I really envy you that luxury.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have access to the ocean either but there are plenty of streams and lakes. It would be so nice to get fresh caught! I envy that too.....
ReplyDeleteI use to see marinated ducks hanging up in a chinese restaurant carpark many years ago, seemed like a weird place to put them. I find sardines nice spread on toast.
ReplyDeleteI adore fresh Sardines. I dust them in flour and fry, and of course eat them with fingers. I must get some on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteNot a huge fan of fish I must admit, but that des look good, love the apron!
