Spending the day on a small boat navigating the waters off the historic Massachusetts fishing port, Schneier and his party experienced a mixed haul. While local regulations and catch limits meant that the numerous cod they reeled in had to be promptly released back into the ocean, the trip proved more fruitful regarding other local marine species. The group successfully caught a substantial amount of hake and mackerel, both of which compliance rules permitted them to keep.
However, the standout moment of the excursion occurred when Schneier unexpectedly reeled in a cephalopod. Upon closer inspection, he identified the specimen as a longfin squid, scientifically known as Doryteuthis (Amerigo) pealeii and frequently referred to in regional contexts as a Boston squid.
True to the traditions of his periodic informal updates, Schneier documented the catch and brought the fresh ingredient back to prepare it simply. That same evening, he cooked the longfin squid over a barbecue grill, utilizing a high-heat, rapid-cooking method that yielded what he described as a delicious result.
The casual fishing excursion and subsequent meal offer a rare glimpse into the personal hobbies of the prominent security expert, aligning with a whimsical blogging tradition that occasionally mixes the mundanity of coastal life with the rigorous technical discussions usually found across his platforms.
