Fish Braai

A braai in South Africa is a BBQ.....What an experience !!

This was actually one of the best experiences I have had. I went to a place called Muizenberg, it's on the water and there is a fish market there. I have never seen such fresh fish in my life.
One of the sales woman told me that the fish are so fresh that if I were to throw it back into the water it would swim back to its momma!
Laying on the ground were HUGE bunches of fish just waiting to be put onto the grill!
My three friends and I bought a big yellow tail and a smaller salmon.

After buying the fish you can pay a bit extra for these women to go to the side and clean the fish for you, scale it, wash it, cut off the head, take out the insides, all right in front of your eyes!
They wore boots while i was standing there in my flip flops with fish juice on my feet!

I honestly couldn't get over how cool the whole thing was!

This story gets better! There were seals in the bay.....seals....not an aquarium REAL SEALS!

I felt like such a tourist, but it was so amazing to watch!

After our fish was cleaned and rapped, we drove to the closest super market and bought a grill and spices and when to the beach!

After half an hour, a bit a margarine, an onion, green pepper, garlic, salt and pepper, we devoured the most amazing fish i have ever tasted!









I am loving these experiences and even more so- loving sharing them with you!!
