Now I know where I want to go for holiday! :) I'm fanatical when it comes to fish, if I could afford it I'd eat it everyday, but in Sweden it's quite hard and expensive to come by fresh fish, and the frozen fish is quite often of poor quality. Too sad. But we have a form of lovely smoked shrimps here. Usually we eat them as they are, perhaps with a touch of aioli and a baguette. But they're too good on their own to prepare in any way...Gittohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925400594009041595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1160995276085163382006-10-16T20:41:00.000+10:002006-10-16T20:41:00.000+10:00I miss bangus and having tuyo for breakfast.As alw...I miss bangus and having tuyo for breakfast.<BR/><BR/>As always I love your photographs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
