Caracol Escabeche, ay cabron!


in june we made a quick run "out there" and didn't get much love from King Neptune. old friendships were rekindled and we spent some quality time with our amigos. seems there are 20+ pangas going after the almeja (a type of gooiduck - donkey dong!) during the summer months. my buddy Israel now has his own panga waiting for lobster season. his mom Mercedes makes the best pickled caracol escabeche you will ever eat. this is the same family that used to supply La Mijita's taco stand in El Rosario, until "that" day that tore a family apart. :saint::saint:RIP Elsa, la paloma:saint::saint:

anyways, here is the good stuff. the ingredients change with the season. this time was solo caracol. sometimes Mercedes uses lobster, sometimes abalone, sometimes mussels, or my favorite, all of the above.

The King gave you "no love" but you rekindled and recommitted to Israel and he gave you a donkey dong. I am glad you found someone Woodrow. Now maybe you won't be so angry here on the boards. :o:o:o:o:o:o

this reminded me of a couple of Nomadic parties over the years. lets see, there's Shari, Mulegena, Baja Andy, Paul and Shelley, George and Sandra, and that sound you hear is Dennis banging on the drums.....

Those clam siphons are deeeelicious. They taste like both crab and shrimp. You just have to hammer them real good. To the point where the muscle fibers start to separate.

What, no pictures of spotfins?

Ya where are the spots?

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.
