Hunter Gatherer Dining

Thanks to... of course... Glen and Tina... we went to this hilarious fish for yourself restaurant.   It has little clear rivers running through the restaurant filled with Snapper and a few sharks.  In the back of the restaurant, there were pools of more expensive fish.  Our table got two bamboo fishing poles and two little foil packets of small raw shrimp to use as bait.

You would have to be affirmatively bad at holding your arm above a specific place for more than 5 seconds not to catch a fish with the fishing pole.  There were lots of them and they were hungry.   And if you cannot catch a fish, there is a special area that you can go and just use a net.  Every time someone catches a fish, someone bangs a giant Japanese drum.

Here is Carlos' catch.

Poor fish were so hungry, Rafi caught two without bait.  Apparently, an empty, shiny hook looked delish.

Eating the newly offed fish seemed meaner as sushi than cooking... but maybe that's just me.


In other news, Japan is in a Hawaiian mood.  Lots of Hawaiian themed restaurants and events.  You can kind of tell they are just in on the trend and will go back to normal or the next trend because the decor seems to be temporary.

Exhibit A... Hawaiian shirt on a hanger.

 I can't lie... this was delicious. BBQ sauce or mayo.
 Frozen watermelon mojito.  Not Hawaiian...but delicious in the crazy humidity and heat.
