Our biggest catch so far, a barracuda. The best bit of this was that Dan was desperate to catch something, anything, whilst with us for the last two weeks. The day after he leaves.....

Whilst Frances was 'dealing' with MY catch, I got our fishing book out. confirmed its identity as a barracuda and went on to read about the disease Ciguaterra that is prevalent in these fish in the Caribbean. Having filleted it we threw back!
