A newly discovered pleasure of coastside living – we went to the boat harbor at Pillar Point yesterday and bought salmon off a boat (we had been before during crab season but the production with killing/cooking/cleaning put us off). They hung it on one of those big ol’ hooks to weigh it. A sea lion surfaced and stared at us from the open slip next to our boat, snorted and dived under slowly as I pointed him out. We took the fish back to a local fish shop that cut and cleaned it for us ($3 for the service, not bad), and then came home and found we had 12 fillets worth of fish. Very nice!
