Neighbors Steve and Iretta came over for dinner last night and Semoko joined us a bit later as well. Deborah prepared fish, mashed potatoes, and a Fijian dish called fern lolo featuring onion, garlic, tomato and, yes, ferns in a coconut sauce. It was delish, and she got the thumbs up from the locals. We had bought the whole red snapper previously at the market and I had to scale and fillet it with dubious help from Semoko’s puppy, who was quite interested in the process. She had fish scales clinging to her fur for hours later. I saved the head and other boney detritus for Semoko. Fijians just love fish heads, and can’t understand why we throw them away. They also seem to prefer to leave the bones in when cooking and just pick them out as they eat, thus ensuring no morsel of meat goes wasted. So tonight Semoko and the puppy will dine on fish head soup. I think I’ll stick with the fern lolo.
