In a land where everyone else is a Superman in a red cape, being a bicycle repairman is something special indeed. I remember this brilliant Monty Python skit from my childhood, and it seems just as funny today. “See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!” It not only makes me most enthusiastic about the upcoming Monty Python reunion next month, but also really makes me want to learn more about how to fix my bicycle. Then I would truly have useful super powers.

Fish Lie

Have you noticed that fish tend to lie? Or should I say that people tend to lie about fish. Chilean Seabass is not a bass at all but actually Patagonian Toothfish. California White Seabass is a member of the Croaker family, Pacific Red Snapper is really Rockfish and Halibut is just a really big Flounder.

Now that I got off my chest, let’s talk halibut. Halibut, found on the continental shelf from California to the Bering Sea, can grow to over 400 pounds grow to nine feet long and are among the largest fish in the sea and the largest member of the right-eye flounder family. They have a translucent white flesh with an incredibly high moisture content.
