This is one of the most enjoyable videos you have produced. Everything is so calm; almost in slow motion. We see the underwater structure, and the fish just moving about. We get to see what goes on below the surface, and your narration was spot on.

That snapper cleaning looked so effortless. I’m jealous.

[@scottrobinson4435]

Really nice to see the abundance of mangrove snapper in your video. The population of snapper seems to be in good shape. In a world where man generally rapes the resources, it’s great to see a species thriving despite the onslaught of humans. Continue to harvest fish responsibly so future generations can enjoy what we have today.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its always a pleasant sight! absolutely love seeing all those fish out there! 🙏

[@meaww7373]

We would marinate the fish whole, with turmeric and a bit of salt. Then using wok, then fried it until crispy... Then remove oil ..add garlic onion, tomatoes cubes or tomato ketchup, and julienne of ginger and carrots. Salt to taste..A squeeze of lime..then pour on the fish. You're living a life that others can dream of.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

sounds amazing!

[@levifranklin5350]

Yes, that was a cowfish. I also call them boxfish. If you release them on shore into the surf they will briefly waddle (run) across the top water for 10-15ft, pretty neat to see.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha too funny!

[@kylewenzel3584]

[@romeysmith6099]

Aaron love to see your back yard bro the scenery is beautiful

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love it back there!

[@jayrobertson232]

Aaron, nice video thanks. To keep the flopper from hanging down, just put a small weak rubber band on it to hold it against the shaft. When the head goes through the fish, the rubber band should roll back to the shaft and allow the flapper to do its job holding the fish. I’m thinking small rubber band like ladies use on ponytails, braids, etc.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

glad you enjoyed it! and theres no issue with the flopper hanging down in my opinion. never had any issues.

Recipe 2 cup(s) fish stock 1 cup(s) Irish potato, diced 1 cup(s) pumpkin, diced 4 medium okras, sliced 1 pound(s) whole snapper 1/4 cup(s) tomato, diced 1 teaspoon(s) Grace Caribbean Traditions Black Pepper 1/2 teaspoon(s) scotch bonnet pepper, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 2 clove(s) garlic, chopped 2 stalk(s) escallion, chopped 1 sprig(s) thyme 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper 10 whole crackers Fancy's Jamaican Steamed Fish Directions Pour fish stock in a large skillet and bring to a boil. Add Irish potato, pumpkin and okra; cover and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Slit fish on both sides, then stuff the cavity with half of the vegetables and seasonings (tomato, black pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, onion, garlic and escallion). Sprinkle with the remaining black pepper. Place fish into the boiling fish stock and add the remaining garlic, tomato, onion, escallion, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme and a whole scotch bonnet pepper. Spoon stock over the fish, cover and steam over medium flame for 10 minutes. To Serve: Place fish on platter, add crackers then pour on the fish stock. Method Note: Diced yam, string beans and carrots may be used; you can also add your favourite vegetables and starches. Note: Fish stock is a flavourful liquid prepared by simmering meaty bones from meat or poultry, seafood and/or vegetables in water with aromatics (onion, celery, ginger, garlic and thyme) until their flavour, aroma, colour, body and nutritive value are extracted. The liquid is then strained and used to prepare sauces, soups and as a braising and simmering cooking medium.
