~*Meeting squids*~
Fishing for squids, also known as squiding, is my new found hobby. =D Squids are relatively easy to catch if they're in the location, they make yummy table food, they dont have sharp fins to poke you with and the squid jigs used to catch them come in an array of pretty fluorescent colours! I used to be so detered against squiding becase of the unearthly hours in the morning I have to get out of bed to go catch these little critters. Apparently, dawn and dusk are good timming to catch them. I wouldnt go in the dark, becasue they're armed with good ink squirting skills, and it would take much for a blur block like me to avoid it. haha.
So I had my first squiding adventure at Cleveland on saturday morning with Yewlim, Clarence, Estee and Adrian. It was a rainy morning.. such a terrible day to get out... and only Clarence managed to catch a squid! Lucky guy. =D I was so intrigued by the squid.. I alwasy thought that squids were white with a purplish outer skin. Thats how they were, dead and on ice in the wet markets and in NUTC. But boy, was I ever so wrong. Squids are one of the prettiest things you can catch out of the ocean, with their natural ability to change colour according to their mood, and their bright eyes, one of the sharpest in the ocean. They are also curious little creatures, which eventually lands them on the dinner table, but. yea, part of God's amazing pictures.
Here's the poor one that Clarence caught on Saturday morning. =D Its going to become salt and pepper calamari on my dinner plate. =D yum.
This is how it looked like when it changed to white. =D
