can - no

glass jar on ice or gtfo, beyond that at a wholesale level you typically have to ante up for a kilo. The caviar business works a lot like the peruvian marching powder business

And that poor malnourished sturgeon they caught in your study is a baby, this is what you're looking for in that world

Thanks for saying the caviar business is like the Peruvian marching powder business, posting a photo of Russians/Ukrainians, and none, I repeat NONE of them being impossibly svelte 20-something women.

Yes we CAN:

north of the bridge
that's a tin, not a can and you definitely don't want to see what the women looked like out where we processed, but in the city was an entirely different scenario

When did Baja go soft? What ever happened to buying a lobster off of a local for 2 bucks and having that and a can of Spaghetti-Os for dinner cooked on your rusty-ass Coleman stove?
What happened was that I stopped eating Spaghetti-Os when I was 12.

I still have the rusty ass Coleman stove.

Tho you don't need a stove to have sashimi.

Clearly you don't know how Baja is done.

Nowdays it's all about having a chef to make sushi hand rolls with caviar washed down with a French Rosé with Instagram posts as a nightcap.

Stroganoff for a new generation.
We are all friends, everybody surfed, including the chef, it just so happens that we have some talent on the trip and that we are not losers who eat Spaghetti-Os.

There's zero reason why you wouldn't eat good on a camping trip. I mean, the sea life is abundant.
All the fish and lobster we've had, we either caught ourselves or was locally caught the same day. Except for abalones. Urchins were still moving...

I think when you get older and you can afford sh!t you tend to make things nicer.

Rough and tumble was because you didn't have money.

Now that I am a member of the investor class I don't need to rough it no more.
Eating canned and instant food when camping as kids was more laziness and stupidity in my case. Eating fresh stuff is not really that much more expensive, at least not in Mexico.

But it takes prep and planning, which Is a pain for some.

It's not really glamping, it's just smart camping.

Yeah I've been done sleeping in the dirt for decades now.

Modern camping. Back when I was a kid in the early 60’s we camped with a large group in Baja and used dry ice for food preservation. This was for a 15 day trip. For a small group for less than a week hauling dry ice wouldn’t have been practical.

More pictures.

What? You're eating caviar in Baja, shitsnout.

It's f-----g glamping and it's goddamned glorious!
Yeah I forgot about the caviar. :poop:

It's pretty decadent.

Nobody would normally invite me to a Baja trip with caviar and sushi. I'm just an idiot with a camera that gets lucky now and then.

It was more about JOB and Poopies.

Never been to this part of Baja before. Insane set ups, right point break after right point break and then a cobblestone reef in the middle of it with lefts and rights that works on the NW swell
It looked like a mini San-O on this day.

Things got a little out of control.
