Yeah who knows. It might have been a translation issue. They might have had very rudimentary cooking stuff so maybe the best they could do was to boil it for a couple of minutes.
Saving fuel, perhaps. Or maybe they used a solar cooker. Jerry rigged even. Boiling water is hard but heating it to fish-safe temperature would be much easier.
