The San Remo Coop

Next, Richard took us to one of his favorite places to eat - The San Remo Coop. It is where the locals eat, and he thought we would enjoy the fish and chips, since they catch their own fish in the bass straight.

The day's catch included dory, flake, and a third fish that was more expensive. We had never had dory nor flak, and Richard suggested the flake, since it is a common fish used for fish and chips. It was mushier than cod or halibut but still tasty, and we ate outside on what was a beautiful day. While we finished our food, Richard went in search of a few animals. He didn't find anything on land, but he certainly found something in the sea - sting rays! And big ones. Some seemed to be between four and five feet across. We watched them in the clear water for awhile, marveling at how big they were, and then it was time to head on our way.

A movie of one of the rays makes it real!

As we left, we took a picture of one of the sculptures that serves as a reminder to all of the dangers of polluting the ocean.
