The front room looked more like a kitchen with a fireplace than a living room.
The brick fireplace was piled up in a reversed "凹" shape and was oddly wide enough to place things on it, and it was blackened with what looked like burned marks.
There were no cooking utensils or grill nets here. Were we supposed to put the fish on the fireplace and roast it?
For now, I placed the fish on the fireplace, then squatted down to watch Esty-san check the fire.
"Should I put the fish here?"
"Nn~ Yes, that's fine. Just remove the scales."
Esty-san stood up, pulled the knife from her waist, and started scraping off the scales.
Ah, I see.
Fish have to have their scales removed when roasting.
I thought I could just thread the fish I caught in the river straight onto a stick and roast it by the campfire.
Then Esty-san cut the fish into rounds with the knife.
Well, it was really big, so round slices like salmon would be better, right.
