Big fish for lunch

My brother just got home from fishing this morning. Luckily he caught a huge fish which will be our lunch. Actually, he caught 2 big fishes, but you can see in the picture only the larger one. My father cleaned and sliced the fish and I was watching him while doing that. I will help with the cooking.

I'm glad that we don't need to spend money for meat. I'm always proud of my brother, he is a good fisherman. He learned that job from early on since he was 15 years old. He is now 22 years old, that is 7 years fisherman already. Fish is our daily food, there are rarely days without seafood. My dad knows how to catch fishes as well, but he doesn't catch big fishes like my brother does. The fisherman job in the Philippines is different than in the USA or Europe, as we are not using big nets on big boats. Instead, people dive into the sea to catch fishes. My brother and my father go to different areas in the ocean. My brother always dives in deep water, but my dad can't dive anymore as deep as my brother. But that difference does not really matter as long as both get home safely and we always have some seafood to eat on the table.
