Day 62: Napoleon fish
Seafood and fish abound in Indonesia. While in Bima, I had the heavenly experience of eating fish for every meal. My favorite is pictured above, the sweet meat of the Napoleon fish. More mouthwatering seafood, a special treat to this land-locked native, was served throughout the visit. Shrimp, fish, crab... seafood paradise.
Cultural note: While dining with my hosts, we had a long discussion about food customs and rice. Rice is grown throughout Indonesia and served with every meal, at least three times a day, even breakfast. I've seen rice served together with noodles or in addition to potatoes to complete the meal. The thought is that unless you've had rice you will still be hungry!
