Do Fish Jump?

Among the things on my agenda for what to do when I would be done with finals was the 'picnic on the beach'. I've totally been longing for that one. The beach is just around the corner from our house, so the logistics of organizing a beach snack are not overwhelming. So, here is what we did: We went to the new spanish food specialties store up on Garnet (actually, they also have a restaurant there that serves tapas, another idea for a night out ...), picked out a slice of sheep's cheese and cured dry sausage. Packed this with half a baguette we had since this morning, olives, grapes, a sliced up mango, and a cheap bottle of red. I grabbed my sunhat and two minutes later we were blissfully sitting on the beach, glasses of wine in hand.

I think next time we might be tempted to bring our portable grill and a fishing pole too, because the bay seems to be swirming with fish. We have previously seen some good sized raies swimming under the walking bridge. Tonight, after the sun went down but before it went dark, we saw long, big fish jumping out of the water. They were longer than my forearm and we decided one of those would be perfect meal for the two of us. We then looked them up and it turns out that these were probably Corvina.
