Spearfishing

I've always had a crush on salmon. It's been one of my most favorite fish for years. But lately, I felt like I needed to change our usual salmon recipe. Although, I admit that salmon doesn't need a complicated recipe, I still wanted to play around and make something more than just a plain baked salmon. I've had an eye on salmon cakes recipe for awhile. And I tried making couple of different recipes before I found the one and only. There are basically two variations of salmon cakes recipe. The one with canned salmon or baked salmon. I have to honestly tell you, canned salmon doesn't work best in this recipe. It resembles more like meatballs, but with fish. Good to eat, but nothing special. But if you are a fan to crab cakes, which I really…

During the summer of 2015, my older brother Colin, took me on an incredible trip spearfishing off the coast of Florida. I’ve never been a fan of just throwing a line in the water and waiting; it has always been too passive of an activity for me to completely enjoy. Finally, I would be able to get into the water and bring the fight to the fish. The first thing we needed to get was a fishing license from the State of Florida’s department of Fish and Game. We were able to easily download two of…

These northeastern Indians were known for their myths, maple sugar, wild rice, corn, Spearfishing, and squash. The second-largest tribe of Indians…

The entire east coast of the island is available for spearfishing is a great location for shore divers as the entry and exit points are easy to come by but they can be challenging when the wind is up. Visibility is usually top to bottom with great slant range distances. While it is easy to move around in the water, most divers generally drift dive, entering at one spot, and exiting at another. Young spearo's in wetsuits walking along the road with their gear are a common sight. There is a nice…

cuisine, and whether it is fish, conch, or even lobster it can be found largely in the food of these countries. In Belize one of our favorite foods to eat were conch fritters; conch fritters were bits of conch (the actual creatures that make and live in the conch shells that we have as decoration) surrounded by fried flour, and they were very fluffy and wonderful in taste. A very common dish in these primarily Spanish-speaking countries is ceviche; ceviche is a salad-like Latin American dish…

the Ojibwe was exercising their right to spear fish in off reservation lands that they were accustomed to given to them in rights presented in treaties signed by them and the federal government. What started the conflict was that the locals was upset that the Chippewa was killing a majority of the female fishes with their spears and reducing the population of fish in the water. It would not have so much been a problem, but the Native American was doing nothing to help replenish the fish, such…

On the 1585 expedition to the New World, John White produced a series of watercolor paintings about Algonquian Native Americans in Virginia. One of the many paintings in this series is Indian’s Fishing. Indian’s Fishing depicts six Native Americans hard at work harvesting fish. My eye is drawn to the four men in a canoe that was crafted from a hollowed out tree. There are two men seated in the canoe with a small fire between them surrounded by a large catch of fish. The other men are standing at…
