And on Friday mornings, Granny fishes. This Friday, You coming fishing with me, Granny says. One special Friday when school is closed, our narrator finally gets to join Granny for her days routine. Rods and reels, lures and lines, bobbers and baits are packed in Grannys Jeep. Everyone cheers when Granny arrives at the pierthe queen has arrived! After reeling in the perfect catch together, they carefully scale and skin, cut and gut, batter and fry the fish into beautiful filets. But the family meal isnt complete until Granddaughter adds her own special side dish to the tablemade just like Granny taught Momma, and like Momma taught her.
