Alfonsino Sushi

With the winter storms calming and the wind going to the North, we are getting colder weather but much calmer. Fishing season is upon us again, and we are thrilled.

These lovely little fish are properly known as Beryx splendens. They live on the bottom of the oceans and are caught using traditional hook and line techniques.

Jerusalem Artichoke Harvest

These lovely little roots are invasive and tastey, our favorite variety of food. Why have weeds when you could have a flowering and food producing crop with the same effort?

An odd name since they are neither from Jerusalem, nor an artichoke. Properly named they are Helianthus tuberosus. They are a gift from the Native American Tribes that found there way to our little island.

Jerusalem artichokes have 650 mg potassium per 150g serving. They are also high in iron, and contain 10-12% of the daily fiber, niacin, thiamine, phosphorus and copper. Potent little guys sucking the nutrition from our volcanic soil and making it available to us, as we are not fans of eating the soil directly.
