Dorado from the Sea of Cortez

Last year, I caught this beautiful Dorado out in southern end of the Canal de San Jose.
It is rare that I am fully prepared to bring in a decent sized pelagic fish on the Alize'.

But in this moment, I was equipped with the proper Mexican fishing license, a stout deep sea pole and reel and good high test line. This fish put up a good fight.

My girlfriend is famously known for NOT eating fish. This has been a major source of tension in our relationship. However, we broke this trend with this delicious Dorado.

After filleting the fish, we sliced off section for sashimi and seasoned to taste with spices and soy sauce.

The meal was fantastic!
