Ons tegniese bestuurder gaan gereeld Struisbaai toe, hy sê die geelstert loop oop. Hy bring saam en verkoop hier teen R 50/kg, die kleintjies is ver oor 4 kg.
I have a theory: since they banned Great White shark killing, the seals are getting eaten in False Bay and this means the fish stocks are better protected. Means bigger fish for sport anglers.
Also guys are fishing with drones so getting their baits further out for shore fishing.

Proper summer now in the Boland, much easier to braai early evening, kids can run around outside as it's only getting dark around 8pm. Steak tonight, maybe a few chops for tomorrow lunch as well.

The supermarkets here do that for us already....By the time your meat is done it loses a lot of bulk....

I think that there are 2 options. You open something like Dales which gives good food at good prices but relies on huge turnover or you go fine dining. Very expensive. Only open for dinner 5 nights a week.

Bom fire. I learned from my Struisbaai neighbour, making them. He lit the bom fire at 15h00 and we can only start braai from 20h00. He also taught me the skill of braai regop rooster on the side of the fire. Works a treat with ribbetjie and chicken (slow heat). Controlling the heat on the meat this way and only braai normal on a very high rooster to finish it off.

Option 2 is the way I see it...big turnover and low margin equals large rental and big staff....fine dining gets the business people on expense cards...but it must be done right. I laugh at these so called " best steak houses " that cook on gas grills. The steaks may be great quality but the cooking process adds nothing...

Ja daar het n plek (Catch Cook) by die hawe waar die Pelicans was oopgemaak. Het die gebou heeltemal verbreek en baie vergroot. Die perd het R120,000 se vuurwerke afgeskiet oujaarsaand. Dit het die air quality heeltemal opgevok.

About R40 bucks for a big bag of swarhaak.
R36 for nice hardwood, but small bag.

Look at Sandy's comment. Complaining about "carbon footprint" and "air quality" after a boMfire as oom calls it. But Sandy is a pom now so I guess that makes sense.

Bomfire sounds like a bonfire rather than a braai, and what's wrong with being concerned with local air quality or even your carbon footprint? You also mentioned "saffas" being pathetic so who are the other pathetic sa posters?
Anyway, back on topic - any suggestions for a good fish that's available in the western Cape for the braai?

I have invited a friend around for a braai and to watch the rugby tomorrow afternoon.
Our first braai in the Windy City.
While the Stormers are beating the Hurricanes I'll braai bacon wrapped cherries, jalapeno poppers and satay chicken.
Then steak, pork rashers and lamb chops. Coleslaw and baked potato with sour cream.
Should be fun.
