Last month I spent a few days at the Ballymaloe Cooking School learning how to cook fresh seafood.
It was messy, a bit gross, and very cool.
I learned how to deal with flat and round fish, and what pin bones were.  I also learned that monk fish (the really ugly guy above) have cheeks, which are tasty.  They are also super difficult to remove so I ended up stabbing him the face a lot until I got most of the meat out.
Mission Accomplished.

Yeah, there were some gross parts, and a lot of time wondering if I smelled like fish even after a hot shower!
