Inshore Fishing in Osaka Bay and Cook Some Japanese Fish Dishes

3 people on a boat, chasing Mebaru(the black rock fish) and Madai(Japanese snapper), some of us got the triple on a sabiki. It was probably the coldest day in this winter and the water temperature was only 9 degrees celsius where most fish are in low activity. Guess we did a great job in such a bad condition.
