On their way out of town, Mallory and Teresa stopped by Noyo Harbor in Ft. Bragg looking for a fisherman with his catch. They asked at the Fish Market and were directed across the way to the Tara Dawn vessel which had just come in with a catch. They talked to the owner Tom who was somewhat cautious at first about what they were up to. But as they walked outside of his office, Tom extracted his price. This also brought a smile to his face. Mallory would also have to hold one of these fish in a photo. Of course, she agreed. The first photo shows Tom holding a Skate (like a Sting Ray but more roundish or triangular, rather than kite-shaped).
The second fish is a Short Spined Rockfish, commonly used for sashimi.
And here is the photo of Mallory holding one of those Rockfish. What a trooper!

Lastly, I snagged a photo of the fishing vessel itself from Flickr just to verify the facts.
All of us on the team feel very good about this find as it was one we were not sure we could be able to get.
great find, and some interesting fish for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood job holding onto that UGLY fish Mallory!
These are some pretty impressive fish photos. Thanks Mal for "taking one for the team" I don't think i would have held that fish and I'm almost sure i wouldn't have been able to get this particular item on the list. You rock!
ReplyDeleteNice boats too.
