Happy New Year... 2013!


We are already 3 days into the new year...
Who created time and how it flies by so fast?
New Year's Day was bright and sunny here where I am parked
in my bus at Tokerau Beach in the Far North of New Zealand.
I was given this huge Snapper fish head that I am holding...
One of the new things I am learning is how to use my
small BBQ to smoke fish... Or anything for that matter.
I have got the BBQ set up now with it's own  little gas bottle.
I have a tray for the Manuka sawdust and racks for the fish...
Salt and brown sugar... And I'm smoking!


Tokerau Beach... The water temperature is 20deg C...
The waves are just right... And it's lots of fun.


It's too hot for too many clothes...
And smoking is hot work anyway!

This is the Snapper frame...
It's surprising how much fish is on them after filleting.

 
 The head smoking... I had to turn it over...
It was delicious to eat.


 
So... From my house to yours...
Have a great year and thank you for reading my blog.
I plan that there will be lots more posts this year as I spend time
at the beaches and travel on my adventures...
