I figured I would post one for today because I'm starting my vacation on Tuesday and I'm not sure when I'll post again. I plan on taking you guys along on the vacation. I've been looking over my schedule and it looks like I may have to extend my trip. I was planning on being back December 7th but I don't see how I'll make that date.
Happy Slider Sunday
I've only purchased shrimp off of the boat one time and since I don't know the price of shrimp or prawns in the store, I don't know if the price is better. I do see a lot of people getting them straight from the boat. I wonder if they just prefer seafood that hasn't been frozen. I know I do. I feel like freezing seafood kills the taste.
The sign says Foot Traffic Only. That's a narrow pier so I'm not sure what else a person could get on it. I love how someone from Great Britain put a GB sticker on the sign ..:)
Also, I was asked about the name on some of the boats. I don't usually see people on their boats when I'm shooting and if I did, I probably wouldn't talk to them.
I didn't realize you could catch shrimp this close to the shore. Guess you can...;) However, we all noticed that he wouldn't bring the net up when they saw the cameras pointed at them..Humm
Anyway, it was a great morning to be out on the water. Hope your weekend goes well. I have this weekend off. Shocker.
CORNWERD / WADDENZEE - In the case of shrimp fisheries, they maximize their catch per unit effort by using commercial fishing gear called a trawl. Trawling involves pulling a weighted, sock shaped net through a water column or on the sea floor in order to exploit the catch of a target species
Periclimenes colemani is a species of saltwater shrimp found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean that was first described in 1975. They live on fire urchins and live mainly of the parasites and algae that end up on the urchiin. Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines.

With the prospect of a decent sunset, I popped to the coast and what an eventful evening on the "longest day of the Year".
I had a recce at Sandylands before I went to the location pictured here. I didn't find anything that grabbed me there, so I walked back to the car. As I did so, a young couple were heading along the walkway towards me on their cycles when suddenly the young lady inadvertently clashed into her partners bike and she crashed heavily. It was clear she was badly injured, I ran over and she had fractured her right arm and possibly her collar bone too. So I provided first aid and called an ambulance. That took quite a while and after finding a local resident to provide a blanket and pillow for her, it was a wait for the Ambulance which actually came pretty quickly.
Anyway, I still had about 45 minutes until sunset, so I went near the Midland Hotel and put my wellies on and headed out onto the receding tide to a couple of the "Shrimping boats" that were quickly being left high and dry.
Here is one of the first shots I took before I saw a lovely golden sunset. It certainly felt like the longest day!
The Mexican shrimp plant, or Justicia brandegeeana, is a native of Guatemala, Honduras, and as its name implies, Mexico.

Marinate the shrimp for about 45 minutes to an hour, then spoon on more of the marinade at the table. This is a variation of what some Italians call amorgu, but traditional amorgu is made with mint leaves instead of cilantro
Hymenocera picta, commonly known as the harlequin shrimp, is a species of saltwater shrimp found at coral reefs in the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans. It is usually considered the only species in the genus Hymenocera, but some split it into two species: H. picta from the central and east Pacific where the spots are deep pinkish-purple with a yellow edge, and H. elegans from the Indian Ocean and west Pacific where the spots are more brownish and have a blue edge. They reach about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length, live in pairs and feed exclusively on starfish, including crown-of-thorns starfish. It does seem to prefer smaller, more sedentary starfish, but as these generally are not sufficiently numerous for its needs, it commonly will attack Acanthaster, both reducing its consumption of coral while under attack, and killing it within a few days. Found in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia

Camarón
Flor-camarão
plant is a bushy evergreen shrub growing to 100 cm (39 in) tall. The flowers emerge from bracts that form off the stems. The bracts start out white, but with more sun exposure they turn anywhere from pale pink to deep red. A chain of bracts will continue to grow until it falls off in most cases; thus the chains can grow anywhere from a few centimetres to nearly 30 cm (1 ft) in length. Flowers usually are long, thin, and white with speckled maroon throats. Blooming continues for months once it has begun, then halts for a short period before starting again. The flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies
sprinkle the cooked garlic over the top before you serve, those little crunchy morsels of flavor add a nice finish to the dish....
A useful tip for boiling Shrimp, put your frozen Shrimp in a pot cover with cold water and when the water starts to boil pull them off the fire,
