In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

So I bought some fish over at the night market Monday.  Allah granted me a little knowledge in cooking, so I don't buy food that's already prepared.  Hardly ever, rather.  I know what my stomach can handle, and I can cook what I feel like eating.  Alhamdulillah.  I have kind of a "white man's stomach".  But I LOVE sushi.  so for a bargain, I acquired some snapper, grouper, and scad.  Snapper and grouper are white meat fishes.  Grouper is kind of slimy to deal with, while snapper isn't slimy at all.  Obviously the best fish is snapper, with with shining and transparent white meat.  But scaling the fish and removing the pin bones is tedious.  The scad I plan to grill on Thursday, inshaAllah.  It's a rather big fish, so I thought maybe I'll hollow it out and save the meat.  Scad is supposed to be a red meat fish, but when I opened it up, the flesh was white.  Which scared me a little, so I'm not having scad for sushi.  It's now Tuesday night, and I've had sushi everyday.  I'm stuffed.  You must really try snapper sushi.  I'll make some for you, inshaAllah.  I love you, I love you.  Wanna come over for grilled fish lunch Thursday?
