This was my first experience in Fish market and Harbour, when we entered some were selling fishes live, some were drying them, there was big heaps of dried fishes, some ships were getting loaded and unloaded with different varieties of big, small, white ,black...and lot more.
Really loved the experience, as vegetarian could not bare the smell, but got lot to know about how fishing and drying, packing is done.
