Kayak fishing off shore from Surf Side, TX on a Hobie Adventure Island. Ours slowest day so far but it was still an adventure.


CANH CHUA: meaning and recipe,

Canh chua (literally "sour soup")[1] is a sour soup indigenous to the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. It is typically made with fish from the Mekong River Delta, pineapple, tomatoes (and sometimes also other vegetables such as okra or bạc hà), and bean sprouts, in a tamarind-flavored broth. It is garnished with the lemony-scented herb ngò ôm (Limnophila aromatica), caramelized garlic, and chopped scallions, as well as other herbs, according to the specific variety of canh chua; these other herbs may include rau răm (Vietnamese coriander), ngò gai (long coriander), and rau quế (Thai basil).
 
The sour taste of the soup comes from tamarind, which is mixed with a small amount of hot water; the mixture is then stirred for a few moments to release all the essence, and the liquid (minus the tamarind seeds and other solids, which are discarded) is then added to the soup.

Another nice video. It looked like the wind was up. I have a link so I can check the wind direction and wind speed for Surfside. It normally updates every 6 seconds. The link for it is below. If you can use it, put it into your "Favorites as a bookmark.
