The fishing ban is over. We found fresh sardines in the fish shop. Luckily, because my mom is allergic to the sardines they keep frozen for months. I'm making a soup for my grandma. She likes fish soup; she says it gives her energy. Personally, I prefer to cook them as burgers, 'cause that's the only way to not leaving the thorns. I used to like fish, my favorite is the Pink Snapper we always bought at the Ocumare Coast beach. And the Tajalí. But, when I was little I swallowed a big tajalí thorn. It got stuck in my throat and I started crying. Everyone in the house got alarmed. To try to get it out my aunts (my mom's sisters) made me eat a lot of bread and drink water, but it didn't move. It was my great-aunt (my grandpa's sister) who finally stuck her finger down my throat and pulled out the thorn. I don't like much fish since then. Unless it is well fried to the point you can chew the thorns. A couple of years ago, a friend of my mom gave her a recipe for sardine burgers. And I love it. I never get bored of eating that, especially with rice. #English #MyDay #Food #Cooking
