Itamar chooses a lion fish for supper
We are in
Larnaca Cyprus with grandson Itamar Levy. We were booked to return the
day after tomorrow but we have no idea when flights to Israel will
resume due to the Iran war.
As an Eilati Itamar is well aware of the venomous lion fish. It is not eaten in Eilat and he was most surprised to hear that it is eaten elsewhere. It is an invasive species in the Mediterranean and is now common in Cyprus waters where eating it is encouraged. We had it for dinner this evening and Itamar found it very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had it for dinner this evening and Itamar found it very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed it.
- We have only been here in Larnaca with Itamar for two days
and taking into account that he has needed time to study for an
upcoming exam we have been quite
busy. We visited Omodos and the Chantara Falls
which had much more
water than we usually see, toured the Neolithic site at Choirokitia,
visited
the interesting Medical Museum in Larnaca (a first for us too), bought
fresh fish at the fishing marina near us and perused the Academic and
General Bookstore.
