Zammie took one of the small knives in the corner of the boat and began scaling the fish.
“Is it dead?” asked Kyla.
“Yes,” said Zammie. “But I’m so hungry I’d eat it live.”
“Gross,” said Kyla.
Zammie rinsed the fish in the water then chopped off the tail and head. Then he slit the belly open and rinsed out the fish guts in the water as well.
“I hope this doesn’t attract sharks,” said Zammie.
“Me too,” said Vinnie with his crooked grin.
Zammie sliced off a thick filet from the side of the fish and offered it to Kyla.
“Wow, you’re pretty good at that,” said Vinnie.
“I go fishing with my dad and uncles a lot,” said Zammie.
“Eat it raw?” asked Kyla.
“It’s sashimi,” said Zammie. “Like at the Japanese restaurant we went to.”
Kyla held the pink fish flesh between her fingers and took a small bite out of it. She chewed a couple times then smiled and took a bigger bite.
“Good, huh?” said Zammie.

Fish Curry
Vinnie's wife Leela makes a spicy Indian fish curry for Argo and cousins when they stay at Vinnie's village for a night.
The sweet and spicy curries that are so prevalent in South Indian cooking go just as well with fish as they do with chicken or goat. An array of spices can be used including coriander, turmeric, cumin, and various types of peppers.
