There's a few emperor (red throat probably, the ones with the pointy 'nose') amongst your snapper too. Some call the little snapper without a head bump a "Squire".
I notice most of the men in shorts. What sort of temperature range did you experience ?
Presume the M-i-L fish went back (or became bait) and a fine feed was had from the rest. I've had some delish sashimi of the emperors. Sadly, despite loving the taste of 'em. I'm allergic to shellfishAh hem. Yes 'mother-in-law' rings a bell. It was a big silvery fish. And yes, there were others amongst the snapper, but as you can see, I'm not great with names . Usually I just eat 'em.

Need to wait for the ink to be ejected before hauling em in.Dinner was the snapper etc etc. Oh, and some more wine ...

A great lunch and I'll try to do it next year too. There are 4 per year, although this year there were 8, due to cancellations the last 2 years.
