Kisu to Nasu no Tempura (Deep-fried Sillago and Eggplant)

This year, I had bad luck with sillago fishing until mid August. Then all of the sudden, about two weeks ago, I got a piece of information from the local anglers in the neighboring town. They said that now you could get a bite on almost every cast and it would last for about a week! Of course, nothing could stop me -- even the fact that an important exam was coming up soon.

The information was correct. I had so much fun for about 1.5 hours very early in the morning, until about 8:00 am. :D

To be perfectly honest, the sillago I caught this time did not taste as good as the ones I had caught earlier this year. I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that all I got this time were pregnant ones.
