The small community of Piedra Azul includes several families who live along the shore of Relconcaví Sound near Puerto Montt in southern Chile. I spent a lovely afternoon with friends Gabriela and Javier at Gabriela's home. We first purchased two large fish fresh from the water.

Our lunch will be a merluza (hake). Javier is an enthusiastic and experienced cook who will soon open his new cafe - restaurant in Puerto Montt.
