Flying Fish !!!

eek hot
Rowed to Spanish Side to do some shopping, Remy’s is a sort of general store, you can get fruit/veg, plumbing bits, paint, booze, perfume, crisps, fresh chicken, PTF tape, cheese, fly papers.. Wonderful place.
A lovely bread shop, got a loaf, and he gave us a couple of little bread sticks as an extra.
There is another Grocer shop which we have found does cheap crisps, so Rob can have his fix.
Barry told us that there is a house that we can by fresh produce from, were still trying to find it.
We can have post sent to Riverside Tavern, and we will know when it arrives as its announced on the radio.. Always have it tuned into channel 72... Unless you want a private chat.
Riverside Tavern does a good meal of the day, for 7euros, everything home made, main dish, pudding, a drink and coffee. He also does a lovely burger for 4.50 euros, even the bap is homemade (two burgers, bacon, cheese, salad and fries)
As we were rowing back to the boat, a fish jumped over his shoulder and into the dinghy... Rob shouts “teas arrived” as he is merrily clubbing it with the foot pump! It was huge, Rob reckons that that’s the way he like to fish.. They just come to you, no effort required.
So tonight we had Robs boat made Curried Fish cakes, very tasty om nom nom
