Fishing

We went fishing at the beach yesterday afternoon. It was our first fishing trip in Algeria. I brought my deck chair, a book and some snacks. I wanted to read while enjoying the sea breeze. But the temptation to join the rest in the water was too strong. I ended up joining the kids in the hunt for sea creatures – snails, mini crabs, fishes, anything that was alive and fascinating. Darling and our driver didn’t manage to catch any fish which was of decent size after a few attempts. Instead, they caught some small fishes which reminded me of the nasi lemak fish we have in Singapore. Okay, maybe they were not that small. But they were just slightly bigger. After we had the kick of catching them, we freed them into the water. But the last fish we freed was damn ‘stylo’. It went home with a ‘tongue stud’ cos we couldn’t remove the hook in its mouth! Ouch!
