In January 2004, 2 fishermen captured a 26-kg amberjack (local
name: Medregal Negro; scientific name: Seriola Rivoliana) while scuba
diving along the coast of the Canary Islands, Spain. The
company offers a few different packages of sushi with combinations of
the conventional varieties--salmon, tuna, salmon roe, bonito, sea
urchin, shrimp, squid, scallop, amberjack, et cetera--as well as
different vegetable roll options like pumpkin and kidney bean tempura. Near the reef, large iguanas ate from our hands, and the snorkeling
was the best yet, as massive amberjacks, groupers and stingrays circled
just a few feet offshore near a floating bridge that led to Mayan caves. |
