Yes, and lots of it. We need to get some place where we can have a
fish fry with fellow cruisers, otherwise the two of us we will be
eating Mahi Mahi for a long time. We have sort of an informal policy
where we don't fish unless we need more, so I'd like to see it get
eaten up soon. This area between Puerto Rico, the Dominican
Republic, and the Turks and Caicos has really excellent fishing.


How many will it feed? Just wondering... seems like you could seat quite a
few.


You get about 10 to 12 pounds of solid, usable fillets from a 35 pound
fish, probably a little more if you are really good (which I'm not).

We got about 12 big servings from a 40 pounder back in January, with a
little left over.
