This is a couple of paragraphs from a story. It describes a meal based on freshly caught wahoo.

Don cut the filets into steaks. The two thinnest, near the tail, he dropped into a waiting bowl. The bowl contained coarse chopped herbs and a greenish liquid. I was betting on ceviche. He wrapped most of the rest in butcher paper, saving two thick pieces. The wrapped steaks went into a freezer. The others he slit horizontally, stuffed with herbs and citrus slices, then wrapped with banana leaf. The entire package was placed in a waiting smoker. After adjusting the airflow, he pulled out two cold beers and popped the tops.
We had an enjoyable chat while Don prepped the veggies and pineapple. The sun finally peeked out, low in the sky, when he started throwing everything on the fire. Ten minutes later we sat to a meal of ceviche and baked fish, grilled garden vegetables, assorted fresh fruit, corn on the cob, and iced tea. For dessert, Don grilled pineapple, which he served with a hard caramel sauce and island-grown coffee. I ate til I was ready to explode.
