Guernsey 2007

[Draenog]

Calling all Guerns!

I'll be heading over for my yearly visit home soon (8th - 21st August). Would love to get in the water (if there's any vis????) with everyone I met last year, Marcel, Dave, Mart and Ed - and anyone else who's up for showing an ex-Guern some nice spots. I'm particulalry keen to do another night dive.

I don't spear but I'll be bringing my camera and housing to get some good pics/video.

I've got Marcel's mobile number from last year - but I expect you'll be busy given the new arrival (congratulations by the way mate!!).
Also got Mart's number if it hasn't changed since last summer.

If anyone's else is up for getting in pm me your number.

PS - can anyone explain how this "reputation" thing works - just seen a few "Reputations received" on my user cp - never noticed those before???

Just prepped the GG up for eating later on, decided to go for a goujon route with my filleting skills really not up to scratch on anything other than Mackerel. Skinned the fillets then removed the copious amount of red flesh to be left with some gorgeous looking pure white strips of fish.

Looks tasty, put a spot of pepper a little salt and some dill on them and returned to fridge til tonight where I will try a quick shallow fry.

Seeing the thing prep'd I should have shot one of the bigger fish in the shoal (which were thick lips) but then if the GG's are that much better...

P.S. weight gutted was 1lb 9oz so well above my rod best GG of 1-10 when it was in one piece.

Hi ADM

Foxy is the Rick Stein of Guernsey, and knows much more than me, but my personal favourite is filleted and meuniere, i.e. coated in seasoned flour and fried in Guernsey butter ( or French). Attached was quite a big one! Having said that, I had already baked my mullet to put in a fish pie, but it was still delicious - even the kids ate it!

[ADM]

That does look nice Sarnian.

Didn't get round to eating it last night as I had a meeting at the pub.

Will have it for lunch today if I remember. I did think of the flour and butter but I don't have any butter (the missus is all health conscious and only let's us have Olivio spread stuff...) so maybe something else will have to do unless I pop in the shop on the way home.

[Sarnian]

Don't get me into whether natural butter is healthier than chemical - laden spreads! Olivio's probably one of the better ones if it's made with olive oil, which has been proven to be good for you.

Can't get the same taste without cooking in butter though ...

[foxfish]

Col you will have Sark butter tonight.

[ADM]

What can I say to GG. BEA-utiful...

rivals bass anyday.

Lightly salted, bit of pepper and pinch of dill, floured and fried gently with olivio (or whatever it's now called).

[foxfish]

Where did you go dude? Did you see any fish, what state of tide?

[ADM]

I guess most place will be rubbish with the wind and rain, but generally better on the sheltered side I would think.

Hi Antony.

Sounds promising. May i be so cheeky as to ask where abouts you went. north/south/east/west.

Lookign to go in after work. not ideal tides but weather like this i can't resist, it'll be nice for a splash about.
