My thing is fishing for blue marlin at 30kn speed with a filled beer cooler in the cockpit, Curaçao.

Cal - Tofino is much closer, and I think they're years away from saturation of trendy ethic/ handcrafted restaurants.
On second thought, the pace of life there might be too much of a culture shock for you.
I think they say "relax, bro, this ain't Victoria"

For those who don't know the island, that's funny as heck Chris. 😀
As far as retiring, I'll pick the other end of that loooong beach, ie: Eucluelet, my kinda town. But, no plans to open a restaurant. I want to enjoy cooking. I've not met a restauranteur that's as happy as I am in the kitchen.
Cheers.

I go for slightly smaller fish, although the cooler was full.

Sounds like a mating/lure call for wild turkey.

Good one. It's an idyllic little town with two sides. The sheltered harbour, where the people are and the other side of the peninsula aka open ocean. Not trendy but brings peace of mind in a hurry.
Yup, that's on the leeward, harbour side. They're getting a little braver and developing the windward side. We stayed here last time, when Father was still with us. The restaurant was sold out so we went to the local fishmonger and did it up really nice in our room the first night. Crab, clams and uh... gosh, that was 3 years ago. 🙂

Depends on your intent.
Bream, Blue Gill, Shell Crackers.
Them and catfish are the best eating fish in small ponds and rivers in the south. I fried up a mess of them along with hush puppies weekend before last.
Last two times I went to Happy Acres, I was asked to do the fish fry. There were no leftovers.
The best eating freshwater fish in Europe are the common perch and Zander (similar to the North American Walleye) but despite being popular everywhere else they are not sold in the UK.
Back when, it was odd realising that it had already been a year ago that my old man baled out.
(I have this filial theory that the awareness/perception of time is governed by the distribution/frequency of happy and/or sad memories as key parameters)

It is simply the ratio of experience to total experience.
When you are 5 years old the previous years experience
is 1/5 of your life, hence perceptually a long time.
When you are 60 years old a year is not so significant
(nor perceptually lengthy)

Apparently, what I (and many others in the south) call Bream are perch.
Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus)
"Lepomis, the generic name, is Greek and means "scaled gill cover". The species epithet macrochirus is also Greek and means "large hand" which may refer to the body shape or its size."

It's funny, when prepared properly I prefer the more colourful fish to the whites but if done poorly, at least you can eat the white fish.
The Gimp...Just knew I had seen you before!

My oldest son, when he was 8 or 9 years old, would catch blue gill with the simplest of gear at a pond about a mile from the house, he'd put them in a bucket, take them home and deposit into the aquarium in the kitchen. The next day he'd take them back to the pond.
It was quite a scene to the neighbors, the nanny was from Jamaica and she would pull the 2 and 5 year olds in the red wagon, hold the 8 year olds hand while they walked to the pond. A "Booth Tarkington" kind of moment.
