Diaries of statia                                 - New foods!

Today was a mini adventure. I tried a coconut, a mango, and my first ever seafood!!

So today we went to a friends for lunch, the Ericksons.

Todd Erickson took Josh and a few other guys out this morning to go fishing… Not including a boat or anything. They went spear fishing. Just snorkel attire and an under water gun. So for lunch… We got to eat the fish they caught that morning. The ericksons have a bunch of different fruit trees that I got to experience.

So the coconut milk didn’t really taste like anything to me, but the actual coconut meat tasted like almonds I thought! Hmm… Well I’m not really a big fan of the mango. When it was lunch time I got some seafood to try. (May as well, I’m in the carribean!) The barjack fish (locals call it the butter fish) didn’t really taste fishy at all, it kinda tasted like chicken. So I got that down ok. Lobster? No, not a fan! The barracuda was nasty, I couldn’t get that one down. But it did give me pleasure to see it fried up and dead on my plate :) It obviously couldn’t have bin the barracuda I saw snorkeling a few days ago that almost scared the pee out of me, but it still made me feel happy to see one dead. So conclusion; seafood really isn’t my thing. But hey! Yay me for trying all the crap anyway right!? Probably not something I would’ve done back at home.

Statia’s alright :)
