The pomfret I had in India is close to impossible to find in the US, so I resolved to use pompano. |
Old ladies poke at pompano and snapper flopped whole on beds of melting ice in the fish markets. |
At some stages there were two and three fish on at a time, and by the time the day was over, they landed 26 queen fish and 4 pompano. |
In three hours they had a nine-kilo cobia, a 10-kilo shovelhead ray, two very nice snapper, a nice queen and a pompano. |
Additional fish caught on the day included 5 spotted emperors about 14 lb in weight, 2 pompano at 5 lb and 3 queen fish at 7 lb. |
Rock anglers are rewarded for their patience with catches of kingfish, queenfish, kob, shad, stumpnose and pompano. |
