Best Fish and Chips Ever

Lunch today in Picton at the local chips shop run by husband and wife from Havelock who do their own fishing.  They are only open on Thursdays and Fridays and cook the fresh fish while one waits.  We had a choice of about 5 different fish, and chose the "lemon fish" which was very white and sweet.  After licking our chops and fingers, I asked about the fish, and found it is a type of shark.  The locals call them "grey boys," absolutely delicious.  Bill said it was the best he's ever eaten. 

Bill is, at this moment, enjoying the Dukies playing a basketball game live on our satellite TV.  He's a happy camper.  We get all the American sports as well as the Australian Open (now finished) and Kiwi Sevens start soon.  That's pronounced "sivins" for you non-Kiwis. 

Another hike this morning under still cloudy but warm skies.  This is a view of Picton Harbor from our hike last week.  Tomorrow is market here in Picton.  The fishermen will be there with more fresh fish!  We never get enough.
