gerelmx Posted January 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I remember a previous cruise with fresh red snapper, I wonder how they prepare the marlin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 14, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They are cutting it into fillets and grilling them....in the aft section of Oceanview Cafe. They brought them in board in Barbados Yesterday (the fish, not the pies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunaman2011 Posted January 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Greetings Very interesting since I believe blue marlin is protected from sales in the North Atlantic. Is Celebrity aiding in illegal fish selling? Good Sailing Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thon Posted January 14, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Seems like sales only banned in USA. Guess sales in other countries are ok. It’s not really sales that should be considered but catches of the fish. Blue marlin are one of the numerous highly migratory fish species found in the oceans, and like tunas, swordfish and other billfish can be severely depleted if not ‘managed’ properly. The last international assessment of blue marlin in the Atlantic was carried out in 2011 by scientists from member countries of ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas). They determined that the stock remained overfished. The next assessment is due this year I believe. Countries such as the USA and Canada have implemented measures to protect the stock, but not every country has. I’ll get off my high horse now!!

Vicjac Posted January 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Can the cruise line do anything right for the passenger? It looks like an amazing lunch. Sent from my SM-N900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted January 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We have cruised Eclipse twice this year and Oceanview really seemed to be trying hard with ‘specials’. Fresh Sardines were on offer from Lisbon and we also had a ‘curry special’ day....On longer cruises I think these little extras are much appreciated, especially by the ‘regulars’...only snag we had with the Oceanview at lunch was the temptation to eat too much!

Rare cruisestitch Posted January 14, 2018 Author #19 Share Posted January 14, 2018 There was even a waffle NIGHT in the Oceanview Cafe. I had to ask for syrup and there was no bacon. They were being presented as dessert and I had to explain to the astonished cook that they were my dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatjoey Posted January 14, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Have not forgotten pie day on the Eclipse. Amazing. Have been on the Infinity the last two times. They have never heard of pie day nor anything else that resembles as variety in good food. The worst food we have had. Will never sail Infinity no matter what the itinerary is. Too bad food is so different from ship to ship. You can also not count on anything staying the same. If the chef is changed or other staff, there goes pie day and anything else you may have enjoyed. So enjoy it while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatjoey Posted January 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted January 14, 2018 and how would I know that? Besides, we are on the Eclipse every year and the food has always been good. Pie Day is just one example. But Pie day is definitely not on all the celeb ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cementhands Posted January 15, 2018 #23 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Going on the Eclipse in February. We will definitely scout out the fresh fish. I’ll chat up the chefs. Pies look great. Metabolism stinks as we age. So we both try to eat healthy. Of course that being within reason as the temptations on a Celebrity cruise ship are everywhere. We usually enjoyed the aqua spa cafe in the solarium for grilled fish. But we’ve heard that has changed to small plates. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted January 15, 2018 #24 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Food looks amazing!!! Thanks for the pictures. We, too, will be on the Eclipse in February and will definitely go to the Oceanview for lunch on the sea day after Barbados! If you get a chance could you ask Sue if she knows who will replace her (or if we could possibly beg or bribe her to stay). Also, is Captain Leo back? Have a great cruise!

NordicPrince Posted January 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Greetings You are north of 8 degrees north latitude therefore you are in the North Atlantic. Good Sailing Tom I would beg to differ as sailing to the west of Barbados you would actually be in the Caribbean Sea which IMO is a far cry from sailing in the North Atlantic as in where the Titanic sank, as in where the Georges Bank is located. Would you say the Atlantic next to the Florida coast is considered the North Atlantic? Absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
