Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #100 - Kingklip Island Tower
And so as SSC reached the big ONE HUNDRED, we learnt that we have to say goodbye to @jaybird's Steemit Sandwich Contest!
What an achievement though from our Manwich Maker who has been running this contest mostly on his own steem, so I fully understand the need to put on the brakes.
A massive thank you @jaybird for helping me grow here on Steemit, hoping to see SSC or something else run by you again some time in the future, you've been an amazing inspiration!
Never being a sandwich lover, I must confess I've become quite addicted to making sandwiches ever since joining the mad bunch of Sandwiteers!
The theme for this last challenge is: Your Desert Island Sandwich
OK, so I am not making the sandwich I would wish for if I were to be stranded on a desert island, no!
I am stranded on an island, a heart-shaped island at that! Tried building a tower so I could be spotted should a ship sail past; that didn't work. So then I made a raft to try and escape, but I'm waiting for the storm to pass you see!
A tiny little raft is not going to make it through the stormy seas we're currently facing!
What am I going to do next week without a sandwich by my side?
But enough of my lamentations!
Let's get on with making the last sandwich for the 100th week of @jaybird's Steemit Sandwich Contest!
Still on the nautical theme - my sandwich is made with simple ingredients as always - and it's a Kingklip Fishcake Tower.
What is Kingklip?
Kingklip is one of the most popular eating fish in South Africa. The name kingklip comes from the old Dutch word ‘koningklipvisch” which means “king of the rock fishes” – because like other whitefish, such as hake, kingklip is low in fat and prized for its delicate flavour and firm white flesh. It is tinged with a light pink colour and covered in irregular brown blotches and can grow to 150cm in length.
Kingklip is a demersal fish, living on or near to the seabed that is often caught in trawl nets together with hake as a by-catch. They are a relatively slow growing and long-lived fish and cannot sustain a targeted fishery so in a managed by-catch programme, catches of kingklip are restricted to a precautionary catch limit of 10% of total hake TAC.
SANDWICH INGREDIENTS
- 3 slices brown bread cut out into rounds
- 2 Kingklip Fishcakes
- Lettuce
- Tomato Slices
- Creamy Mayonnaise
Layers of mayonnaise, Tomato slices, Fish Cake & Lettuce.
Repeat with another layer and there's your lookout tower all done!
Serve with a potato chips raft - Validation photo
And a very last look at my very last sandwich here for @jaybird's Steemit Sandwich Contest!

Wow, this is beautiful my friend! You've created so many amazing sandwiches @lizelle, you never disappoint :) So sad this is to be our last, we've definitely had fun, so much creative energy, laughs and SANDWICHES, lol (my waistline will thank me, lol) Well done, nice finish! Keep on steemin!!
Ah thank you my friend! I wanted to do something really amazing but then time caught up with me, we're still holidaying so not having time for steeming, will be back in full force next week. I'm really going to miss the SSC interaction, but so glad you're still around steeming! Your sandwich was an absolute winner, truly a wonderful finale!
What a cool take on the contest and beautifully presented, its a shame the contest is coming to an end I never submitted to it but I loved seeing all the entries
It is a real shame, I'm going to miss the weekly challenges but @jaybird needs a break, looking forward to what pops up here some time in the future! Thank you for your support @tattoodjay :)
I bet so many will miss the challenges but 100 is a long run and a break is of course deserved
For a second I actually thought you had used burger patties as buns. Then I saw they were round slices of brown bread :p
Looks amazingly delicious!
It was simple ingredients but a delicious combo, thank you so much @daan!
Oh, you never disappoint @lizelle! Ahoy!!! I see a tasty treat waiting to be eaten! I have to admit, I have never heard of this fish, but, white and light, yet firm is right up my alley!
I am sad to see the Sandwich crew pack their bags and disappear, but, it is a huge responsibility to keep these challenges and contests going!
A wonderful send-off!

Thank you for the wonderful comments & the tip @dswigle, I'm certainly going to miss this weekly challenge but it's been a very long haul for @jaybird especially the past few months with so many becoming inactive on the platform!
You are an inspiration to many of us :)

I hear you. The inactivity is killing off a lot of things. But, I am hoping that after the hot of the summer passes here in the States, people will become active again!
Thank you for your kind words! xo
Epic sandwich I'd spot you on the island for sure ;)
Going to miss this contest @jaybird, you've been so encouraging throughout but wish you the very best! Will pop in and enjoy your music from time to time! Thank you so very much and I'm looking forward to see what you come up with one of these days!
Thanks lizelle, you’ve been a pillar of ssc! You and a select few are pretty much the reason(s) we went all the way to 100 ;)
