THIS WEEK: We have had an amazing couple of weeks Sailing Northern Exumas and visiting Allans Cay to see some Iguanas, Longs Cay to escape an Easterly, Shroud Cay for some excellent kayaking, and finally on to Staniel Cay where, yes, we stopped at Piggy Beach. And Chris made THE BEST Conch Fritters! Here is his recipe: (music credits below recipe, check em out!) ***We started with two large conch and then used what we had on hand. Improvisation! Cut and tenderized using a meat mallet. Marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours) in lemon juice, white wine, black pepper, fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt. In a food processor, pulse until fine, the conch (and the marinade juice), onion, garlic, cayenne, carrot, tomato, hot peppers (whatever you have), and fresh thyme. In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and beer, then add in processed conch mix and stir until a loose, sticky paste forms. We had to add in about 1/2 cup more flour to absorb liquids and firm up the batter. Heat oil and carefully spoon in a fritter size dollop and cook for 5 minutes rotating the fritter every minute for an even cook. Extract, cool and eat! Prepare: 2 conch 3 oz lemon juice 3 oz white wine Teaspoon black pepper Pinch of sea salt 2 sprigs fresh thyme Process: Conch marinaded contents 1 tablespoon pickled red onion 4 cloves of honey fermented garlic Pinch of cayenne powder 1/3 cup diced carrot 1/2 cup canned tomato 2 honey fermented hot peppers 1 teaspoon fresh thyme Batter: 1 1/2 cups flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 can of beer (4 oz) Join us and dont forget to SUBSCRIBE to follow all our adventures.

Not our usual video this time. Normally I, Amy, do the video editing. This time Chris took a round! Hope you enjoy our view from the calm side of Long Cay, Exuma, and the raging Eastern Blow we sought protection from. The calm side was great snorkling.

Covid...NO Ciguatera...YES It took a little humility on our part to make this video. After catching a King Mackeral we have come down with the dreaded Ciguatera food poisoning. It has not been a fun couple days on Rum Tot. We hope that by spreading a little information on our symptoms and experience that we can educate not only ourselves more, but maybe you too. We filmed this the same day as posting, so it's as current a video as can be. We are going to continue resting up and hopefully will be feeling much better very soon. It's been quite an experience. As always, thanks for watching. -Amy and Chris Join us and dont forget to SUBSCRIBE to follow all our adventures. We are happy you're here and THANK YOU for watching!
