Today I had the McInerney/Hearst family out for a snorkel/fishing trip. I turned out to be a beautiful and productive day on the water.

Otis Arthur Jr. gathering dried conch
Mrs. Stacia Arthur and her grand children
So I spent my July 4th weekend exploring the culture and food of some of the other local islands. Grits and dried conch from North Caicos, the unbelievable hospitality of the families of Middle Caicos. It was a wonderful trip. Up until now [...]

So yesterday, around 12:30pm, we get a call in from Capt. John.
“We got some Tuna! Two yellowfin, a black fin and a King mackeral!”
Now, I haven’t really had the chance to work with fresh tuna in a while (wahoo is an excellent substitute in times of tuna off season) so my brain starts humming.
Yellowfin Sashimi [...]
