My kidneys haven't bothered me yet, but the doc says "kidney disease stage 3a," so I'm eating less protein and salt. I had a shipmate from Santa Barbarara who didn't put salt on anything. Sailing the Caribbean and points north with him I got used to very low salt. We used to troll a lure made out of frayed nylon rope behind the 46' sailboat. When we caught an albacore about 30" long, he carved a chunk of muscle out of it, and we ate it raw. For me it's kind of unnerving to eat flesh that's still quivering with life. I'd rather barbecue a nice fatty tuna or bonito and watch the drops of grease flare up when it hits the coals.
