I have such a longing to eat Acari again I phoned her, and she sent some up with the lineboat”. Nira, Elba’s twin sister, was telling me this story in the morning. Her mom lives about 20 hours away in a town along the Amazon River. That day the catfish arrived, and Nira boiled up a pot full and brought it over to the potluck supper. This prehistoric looking fish has a bony shell around it and a big head, which was where Nira started eating. It was finger licking good.

This reminds me of a conversation with a couple of engineers who are working with Richie for a few weeks in Porto de Moz. They were explaining a tour they took in Manaus of the rain forest. “…and then they served us some raw fish. Well, it wasn’t really raw. But it still looked like a fish when they were finished cooking it”.
