The Pious Mackerel

I worked until 3 pm on Easter Sunday so Adrianne and I thought the best way for us to celebrate this holiday was to make a nice dinner and have people over. I made a salad for work and had enough left over for dinner, Steve was getting rolls, and Toney the wine. “I know,” Adrianne said “I’ll make fish!” It seemed like we were set to have a nice “family” dinner.

“Uhh, does either of you guys know how to clean a fish?” Adrianne had emerged from the kitchen holding a white package with three whole fish we were supposed to be eating for dinner. None of knew how to gut a fish and all we had were the blank stares of the fish as we tried to figure out how to make them into dinner.


How you clean a fish

As Adrianne has said before, Steve is relatively brawny and was left with the honors of cleaning the fish (he was also left with the honors after I hacked the first fish to uneatable pieces).

Thankfully the internet steered us in the right direction of fish cleaning procedures and in the end we had an Easter Day Miracle.
