Here, Fishy, Fishy...

 
Let me take you once again (and it will not be the last time) to Westfield Whitford City, here just called Whitfords,of course, as Aussies abbreviate everything 😉
 
Now, I am sadly no fish-lover, I do know how healthy this is! 
My Mom and hers and my Bro and Ingo LOVE fish.
I got Dad's genes ...
 
But this store was made with so much love, I have to share!
 

 Here is their website. Where it also says,"Catalano’s Seafood is a West Australian family business that was founded by Fransesco Catalano in 1969.", but, well, who cares, it's a beautiful name and big YAY to family businesses, right?
 
Just yesterday I saw a (German) docu on a guy, only 22 years old, a master butcher already, working with his Dad, his Dad, Mom.... in 4th generation,being happily at work with his fiance at 4:20 am every working day!
 

 Before the kids were born there was time for me, and what did my Bro bake for Christmas?!
Yupp.Salmon!!! He KNOWS I take after Dad...
At least it was fresh(ly frozen on the ship).
 
 
I can have tuna (tastes like nothing), or fish-fingers (same). That is it! I tried fish & chips twice (in Perth and Freo). Ingo had to eat it up.
 
This lille stand makes up enough signs to join Tom's Signs2, don't you think?
 
Soon Grace and Pat will pick me up for a last adventure.
Please wish us luck it won't take another 5 years to come back!!!!
Plan: 2026!
 
Whilst I type the ravens have another  argument (?) after the Magpies woke me up with their sweet chatter. I will miss this!!! Yesterday night the Kookaburras laughed along, telling us this is THEIR place. A nice way to let you know....

I see nothing wrong with Salmon for Christmas. In our hot weather light foods are better than heavier ones, though many people still do the traditional turkey and roasted vegetables, with gravy and then the plum pudding and custard after. I don't do anything special for Christmas dinner anymore.
When you get home you can hear magpies and kookaburras on youtube if you want, then you won't miss them so much.

The problem is I do not like fish,but geez in your Christmas-temps I'd have a salad!
We don't do anything special for Christmas, either. It's a forced holiday,that is all! Icky weather, too.
Youtube will be my hero! But I'll miss the real ones.
A cat just popped by,the ravens hop on our roof....

Oh I love fish. But everyone has their own tastes. And luckily, my hubby who wouldn't ever eat fish before, eats certain fish now. Smile.

...I hope that they have fish that aren't just bones!

I love fish but Larry doew not at all he loves fried catfish though and I found a really good recipe for making that. He loves to go fishing though-and puts most back

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, I hope I find more fish to like!!!!

Tom, I didn't have a closer look, but according to the signs they love their job!

I love that you wake to the birds! I'm a fish fan, so I'd love this place!

I love seafood. It's always better when it's fresh. 🐟🐠🐡🦈 Maybe you could record the birds in the morning so you will have it as a memory until you return to OZ?

I like fish and all seafood, but my hubby is allergic to shellfish so I don't get to have that very often. Our neighbor dropped off a dozen trout Sunday. What a treat!
I hope your plan for a return visit works out. You enjoy it so much down there. But when are you coming to the States?

I love fish and usually order it if I go out to a restaurant. Sometimes it needs a nice sauce on it to add flavour.

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, yes it is wonderful with the birds!!!
