Dan's Newest Hobby!

So, my hubby Dan is funny! Like most men, when he finds a new hobby, he goes after it full force. This gets sort of expensive, because most of his hobbies require something pretty pricey to buy in order to do the hobby. Surfing and shooting are ones he continues to participate in and continues adding equipment to. When he first told me about this NEWEST hobby, I have to admit, I wasn't excited! It just sounded dangerous to me. The hobby is spear fishing! Swimming in the deep ocean with a snorkel and sharp object attached to you, just didn't sound very safe to me! He had purchased a spear pole several years ago, but because we lived up North where the water is a lot colder, the "hobby" at that time didn't take off. Thanks to a friend who is a regular "spear fisherman" (is that even what you call them?) Dan, was so excited to give it a try. The first time out, he brought us home 3 bass that were so yummy. Of-course, they were easier to catch with his buddy's "spear gun"...he said. So, for Father's Day, he bought himself a spear gun. I have to say, I am loving this newest hobby now. This was the "catch" this past Saturday!

These are called California Sheep head. It is so yummy! The texture is like lobster...very flaky. The taste? Like fish...or my kids say chicken. They love it!! So yes..I do like this hobby. And the equipment will just have to be part of our emergency survival kit.
