Without the presence of Adam and his fishing expertise me and Dom decided to go fishing on our own. However we (I) didnt really think it through. It didn;t actually occur to me that a) I might catch something and b) when you do you have to do something with it. This was my first proper fish (although I also caught a couple of bream but threw them back.) and absolute terror set in as I realised I would have to do something to the scary pre-historic looking fish that I had ensnared. Dom bravely wiedled 'the priest' to the fish several times and also did most of the gutting too.

We had originally thought this was a stonefish, but its mouth does't go all the way to the top of the head - and then consulted more experienced divers in these parts to confirm it was a specific type of scorpion fish.
