Its a local pacific fish called the moamoa or ocean sun fish.. they get pretty large and usually is filleted.
Flesh is white and somewhat oily but is great!
Its in a lot of restaurants here and some fish markets.
Yup, FX4 extended cab (only two full-size doors and two tiny ones in the back that only open when the big doors are open) with Triton engine and 6.5-foot bed. In all the time I have had it, I have replaced the alternator once, one new battery, and had the passenger side window riser replaced. Nothing else but routine maintenance (oil, lube, etc.). Regardless of the weather, turn the key and it fires right up, even with the cheap gasoline I put in it (that 10% ethanol shit). Where I live, there is not a lot of pavement driving (except when I do monthly shopping: 250-300 miles of highway) -- everything around me is gravel or dirt in summer; mud and snow in winter. Extra large mud tires with tread up the sidewalls - if I used highway tires, I'd get stuck in the mud on my own property. I cannot fault this truck in any manner.

Now I am dealing with Doc #2.
My GP gave me a referral to a specialist.
Was told it was sent on 2/16/18
I checked this morning and they faxed it to the phone number.
Flat out told them they needed to fax it to the right number (that I had to provide and verify), call the New Doc and verify it had been received (I confirmed the correct phone number for them) and then they needed to call me back to verify that all the above had been done.
Update:
5-1/2 HOURS LATER AND STILL NOT DONE!
Oh I know well Ford trucks get accolades, and it ain't merely a bunch of advertising hype, lots of folks simply love their Ford trucks and with good reason. Been kind of on a Jeep bent myself lately. Want to talk my Witch/ erm wife into a about a '78 Cherokee wagon Jeep. She keeps fussing cos the seats don't suit her. Told her the other day we could always toss the stock seats, get some junkyard seats that would suit. She then looked at me and asked if I was going to do that why not get another vehicle all together. *sighs and smh* Can't 'splain nuttin to her. But it's okay, she keeps me fed, housed, and threads to wear ... once in a bit I get some water and time outside in the yard.
Not only the docs what do such bullshit. While back I applied for a janitorial 'service' position. 'They" had contracts to clean out banks, well not in the way you think, ahem to clean the office spaces and lobbies so on. Figured it'd be a great job, nights, easy going crew, pros, all good. So i got an 'interview' call. It was basically "Ya got a pulse? 'yes sir, got work?' you really want the job? 'yes sir, need money coming in, it's nice.' erm, okay I'll call the guy leading the crew in your area, I'm up in Ohio at the time but I'll call him, you ought to hear from him in a week. bye. 'oh, thank you ..' *click*". That was like near six months ago and the creds for the 'big company' read legit, read cold hard pro, read vets welcome, read sharp .... aw well. Always refer myself back to the 12 monkeys line ... "Fuck the Bozos!"
Turns on the lights and sets up the chairs.
Time to go get the biscuits and jam.
Ready....now we just need some more Old Pharts.

Hey Craig! So yer stayin' up late tonight?
I had a new Jeep CJ5 in 1980, then a new Wrangler in 1995, and we got my (ex)wife a new Cherokee in 1998. All of them functioned flawlessly and I must admit, I'd be hard pressed to suggest I ever had more fun in any vehicle than that little CJ5. Yes, I made a few modifications to make them fit my particular needs, but I do that to just about every vehicle I've ever owned, and I've had a bunch.
Hi Andria, doing good here thanks for asking my friend How's you tonight?

I was born there so figure I have a right to say it
There are some great people there - they aren't all wing nuts - but the laws etc. NO THANKS
I think Abby Normal stared in a Finkenstein movie...
Oh, wait... that was just a jar with a Californicated brain in it.

I lived there for 8 years, and felt so liberated when I left. Yeah, the laws suck ass through a straw. Most of the people I met there were horrible too.I was born there so figure I have a right to say it

Think I changed my mind on a vaping issue we talked about here not long ago - I just bought some locally made CBD for vaping that was locally produced - it has taken the edge off of a few aches and pains that have been creeping up on me again lately
I tried some other stuff you drop in your mouth awhile back and didn't really think it did anything, this stuff I got tonight is kinda cool

1.
2. Meat, since he works at a butcher shop.
3. Mt Everest. It was the tallest even before it was discovered.
4. There is no dirt in a hole.
5. At least half of 'em, to judge from the forum.
6. He lives in the southern hemisphere.
7. You take pictures with cameras (or phones), not wooden legs. No matter where you are.
8. This could go a couple ways -- the prez in '75 was Gerald Ford. if you mean the current prez, his name was Donald Trump in '75 as it is now.
9. {shrug}
10. Neither. The yolk is yellow.
11. One, if he combined them all.

Night Rich see you tomorrow my friend
Its friggin friday!!
yep which always confused the heck out of me on Electron hole flow theory.
How can a hole move?
Stuff around the hole moves and creates a new hole...
Just think about the simplest theory of "electron flow." The power plant generates electricity and it "flows" down a wire to my house. Now, if that is true, all the electrons at the plant would be gone and there would be a bazillion of them piled up at my house and the power wires between here and there would be totally void of electrons. Reality: those electrons don't "go" anywhere; they "bump" the atom next to them and transfer the charge, one atom at a time, for miles and miles and miles. Nothing physical (i.e., the electron in this case) moves down that wire.
I suspect, Jimi, that most doctors are being as honest as they know how to be. The problem is that the AMA (with guidance from Big Pharma and FDA) control the curriculum at all medical universities, and they have a very specific agenda, which has nothing to do with truth and honesty. So this Joe Average student goes to med school and academia teaches him (or her) some line of bullshit that s/he has no idea whether it is true or not, but accepts it as true because some tenured professor says it is. Now s/he graduates and does some intern work in a hospital where they practice "by the rules," which often kills the patient, but all s/he can do is scratch his/her head and wonder why "the fix" from the text books did not work. The vast majority of interns and even full doctors will not attempt to study anything that was not taught in their school because if they ever get caught practicing outside the lines, they will immediately lose their license and, therefore, the lucrative income they need to pay for all that school and the new Mercedes and the yacht. I have met many doctors who (I believe) actually do believe what they learned in school and consistently reject any alternatives as heresy. There are, also, a few I have met who do know better, but refuse to step outside the box for fear of losing their livelihood. The occasional hems and haaas they make and simple comments to me like "you might be right" tell me they know, but are not willing to say so.
