Taape for Tiara
Ta'ape for Tiara

"Ta'ape for Tiara" is the final piece in the "Red Fish, Blue Water" series, and in "The Blue Water Collection".

"Ta’ape are Tahitian snappers brought to Hawaiian waters in the fifties.  They come up into the shallow reef to feed at night and I used to catch them with a lay net.  They make a nice meal any way you cook them.  Tiara, my six-year-old daughter, will eat almost any fish, raw or cooked.  Ta’ape, however, are one of her favorites.  When these snapper are boiled with onions, their roe make a pretty orange broth that goes well with baked breadfruit.  The ta’ape really are for Tiara, as proceeds from this painting go into her college fund.  This series also includes Red Fish, Blue Water, and A Parrotfish for Leilani.”      - Michael Stark
