![]() | Squid in Cirkewwa Malta 19/04/2008 A shoal of squid seen in Cirkewwa, Malta |
![]() | A day with a Gozitan Fisherman Savour and enjoy a 5 to 6 hour fishing programme with expert Gozitan fishermen who proactively involve and engage you in their art and science, enabling you to pick up and practice new tips and techniques deployed in what is still a dynamic industry and popular sport for these islanders. Their brightly-painted 'Luzzu' fishing boats, bearing the Phoenician 'eye of Osiris' on the prow serve as ample testimony of a rich culture pre-dating modern times.Or else if you are a small group experience the 'frajgatina' Maltese and Gozitan cuisine is greatly influenced by the sea; the favourite fish dish being Lampuka, the so-called dorado, a tasty, versatile fish which appears in markets in the autumn. Our busy programme includes deft techniques in bait-fishing and 'finger fishing', using a pliable rod three to five meters long, not necessarily with a reel. The hook and bait are simply dangled and a float is attached as a bite indicator. The elusive knack of it lies in a perfectly timed flick of the wrist. Kids just love this! Fishing from a 'dghajsa' and using other traditional fishing devices and techniques, you may be lucky enough to catch Rainbow Wrasse, Blue Damselfish, Grouper and many other seasonal fish. Ager Foundation personnel communicate with you and discuss your tastes and requests - eventually designing together a tailor-made programme which suites you best. For instance, the boat trip can be arranged for the morning (usually from 9hrs until 15hrs) or for an afternoon (usually 16hrs until 21hrs) trip. A typical day's programme (a morning programme): Meeting with Ager Foundation Personneland the host Off to the sea-shore for the catch and fishing (using different techniques where you actively take part in) A boat ride by the cliffs and traditionally grilling of the fresh catch (possibly on Comino island)or in one of the impressive caves, enjoying a traditional lunch with the fisherman 14:30 Back to the seashore, meeting again Ager Foundation Personnel for feedback. Join the fishermen on-board for an authentic, tasty lunch, all included in the price. As for your catch? Take it home with you or cook it fresh there and then!
