so the kids wer talking fish this fish that in the line up…
I paddled my mat over and said…
‘’ hey …you know what is the best fish to ride?
…A PERCH…
…ambrose…
Hi Ambrose,
… and what was their response? 
-Cam
The best to eat? Most beautiful? To ride? To catch? To read about and wonder? (I like those deep sea critters that light up with the big teeth and mouths.) Could we have a bit more context, Mr. Ambrose? Mike
Maybe 'twas a punny yoke? Perch on your board? So many fish…so little time…

This was no joke,
Ambrose, I know you were refering to where one can get the best fish tacos
… only a small few know the answer 
-Cam
Hmmmmm…Sand Dabs lightly dusted in flour & white pepper, pan fried in REAL butter. Drizzle white wine bernaise sauce and serve with Wisconsin wild rice and blanched asparagus. A Clos Du Bois 2004 Pinot Grigio goes nicely with it.
Stop it! You’re making me hungry now
i dunno, some of the best i had were from roberto’s in OB, with a side of chips and guac.
or was it that place on west point loma next to 711, across from blockbusters and the chinese food place? hmm…tough choice.
best fish? the kind that don’t bite…unless your fishing. but then…ah forget it
My favorite is deep fried Ling Cod w/ rice,dicon,and dipping sauce.
…Red Vermillon would be my second choice.

Nup, it’s neither of those… I’m still holding out until Ambrose gives us another update.

best fish to ride…
what ever you can catch
saw a 35lb awa(milk fish) take my cousin for a death ride into our paipai net once as kid.
taught us how wrong it is to wrestle a fish is that doesn’t want to die just yet in an entanglement of net underwater.
my uncle had to grab the boy, fish and tangled net up out of the water and throw them in the inner tube to prevent him from drowning and more importantly not lose the fish.
fish in general…
a very large kumu steamed chinese style with hot oil, green onions and ginger and side order rice…
saw some world record carp this weekend on the news that took a guy for a ride in his boat…
Wild salmon. A bit of season salt. Grilled and placed on a bed of white rice. Maybe a little teriyaki sauce on the rice. Mike
Hundred years or so ago I worked at Senor’s Old World Resturaunt in Honolulu. Dishwasher. Made my own. Lobster tails chopped, piled in flour tortilla, lightly sprinkled w/ whateva’ cheese they had, rolled and toasted on the grill. That was weekends. Rest of the week I lived in a station wagon on North Shore and ate peanut butter dipped from the jar w/ a carrot.
For me…well, I am starting a new gig running a fish market on Thursday, so I get to choose between quite a few. Still-
Grilled, I kinda like marlin. In taste and texture, it’s about halfway between tuna and swordfish. Grilled over applewood, ideally… with mebbe a light, not over lemoned hollandaise.
Fried: yellowtail flounder or lemon sole, rolled in beaten egg, then flour with a little pepper and celery salt, pan fried in butter. Close second, haddock. Or squid rings and tentacles in a light batter with a smoky hot thai dipping sauce.
Baked- finnan haddie. In milk, butter, sliced potatoes in a layer underneath.
Raw- tuna, the little football shaped bluefins, very fresh caught ( i.e. still moving ) dipped in little soy, Demerara sugar, sesame oil and the juice pickled ginger comes in mixed together.
Chowder? Or soup? The humble cod, or its pal the pollock.
Breakfast? Smoked fish, either quickly broiled to heat with a little butter and lemon or ( new one I just ran across ) smoked salmon eggs benedict.
Never met a fish I wouldn’t eat…
doc…
Fish…
Snook Pan-fried with butter olive oil and cillantro.
the recomendation I made to
fish exp and his wife’s insatiatable
state of 24 hr. hunger
was the fish fajitas from professor
Monico in kinipopo center at wailua
two orders of corn tortillas
fill em all with rice and shrimp
and rice and beans and guac
and sour cream and the Maw
was considered in fuull glut
perhaps this is what father fishexp
has in mind.
the kids response was they just laughed.
no fun loike a pun.
all I could hope to catch off the municipal peir at
Aquatic park in north beach was a perch
the ride home on the Hyde car and the 30 stockton
the ode de pesca was most entertaining
to the rush hour commuters
…ambrose…
all fish adapt well to high manuverability
and to the hungry pallette
