Holy Shrimp, Batman


I know someone is wondering what kind of lobster or crayfish that is, but it really is a shrimp. We bought four of them at the fish market, and they weighed over 1/4 lb EACH (and cost about $2 each)! Needless to say the girls didn't even finish theirs. I almost asked if they sold saddles for them, as well.

The fish is a red grouper, the first fish we ate here in Maputo (yes, the fish market is Tobias' favorite place so far), and it was DELICIOUS!! We almost felt like we were eating Nemo, though, since he looked more like he belongs in an aquarium. But we will definitely get grouper again. Our favorite so far has been the fresh clams. You buy them live and cook them immediately, and they are fantastic. I think we have eaten more than Mikaela's weight in clams already (and they only cost about 50 cents/lb). HEAVEN!
