Valerie and I embarked on a cruise to and through the Panama Canal today. Valerie’s parents took the day off from work and drove us to the Port of Los Angeles. Before departing, we ate lunch at the San Pedro Fish Market at the Ports ‘o Call just outside the World Cruise Center. At the SPFM, you choose your the seafood you want to eat from a large fish-market-like selection and then carry it to the kitchen area and have the staff cook it (fried or grilled with cajun spices). For our first dish, we ate grilled whole Mexican Sea Bass that was recommended by a staff member. For the second dish, the chef combined shelled shrimp, scallops, calamari, potatoes, vegetables, and garlic bread into a tasty tray of greasy goodness.
