Dinner with Farmers

Our last major meal in Malaysia was in Layang Layang.  I think is was the only one we had in air conditioning.  Raymond had invited some of the fish farmers from the area.  It was a treat talking with them about what and how they do things, and why.  Aquaculture, like agriculture is all about production.  The highlight had to have been the snakehead (Channa sp.) that one of the farmers brought and had prepared at the restaurant.  (The mango was a close second) Very cool.

They rolled in a bigger disk for our table as it wasn't just the 8 of us this time....

Sanakehead, banned in the US as an amazingly aggressive and adaptive invasive species.  Here prepared in the traditional style. 

Another spread of family style yumminess.

Snakehead, prepared another way...

The 3 farmers who joined us.  I believe the snakehead was from the second one on the left.  I don't remember their names.
