Beaufort is a wonderful old, yet well preserved, seaport town. As a safe harbor for both boaters on the ICW and those coming in from the sea, It is at one a very popular anchorage and tie up location, and a wonderful place to eat out and shop for nautical items. Marinas usually have one or more free cars that boaters can borrow for an hour, which was just enough time for Judith to do some banking, and for us to make a stop at the fresh fish market, to buy what was fresh. Yesterday's purchase was a trigger fish, at only $4.50 a pound. For that price we photographed the fish, got a demonstration of how the "trigger" worked to release and lower a mean-looking spike on the fish's back, got detailed instructions as to how to cook it, and watched him filet the fish and bag it in ice. Such a deal! The best deal, however was how wonderful it tasted after Judith followed the cooking instructions and spun her own cooking magic on that fish. Out of this world! Our dinner was topped off by this beautiful sunset!
