This is OT but I'll say it anyway, because you just reminded me of a
great experience I would have Way Back When.

When I lived in SoCal the first time, '65 to '68, we would drive down
to Newport Beach from Riverside and buy fish from the guys who had
caught them that morning. They would sell the fish from their skiffs
that they had pulled up onto the beach after the early morning's work.

One year we (several friends and I) were taken on an all day boat out of
Oxnard, CA. The boat left about 3:00 AM for a fishing trip out to the
Channel Islands. That day we (everyone on the boat) caught their limit. One
little oriental gentle man kept fishing a little past his limit. On the way
back he stated filleting the fish and asked to borrow the galley grill.

He stir-fried the chunks of fish with some green onion, ginger, garlic,
peppers, cilantro (Chinese parsley) and soy he had brought.

I'm not sure what it was but that was the best fish I have ever eaten.
