• Fish Market

    9 september 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

    The fishmarket was visually amazing.

    Colorfully dressed women were waiting to get buckets of tiny fish.

    It made me sad to see how many undersized fishes were caught - it's wildly unsustainable fishing.

    Even sadder, the three smallish manta rays that were being butchered.

    All of this on wooden tables in the blazing midday sun while there was a largely empty concrete building with shade and coolers. I assume there are economic factors at play which I don't understand.

    But I wasn't inspired to buy nor eat anything that we saw. If we had a larger fridge/freezer, I might have gone for a nice snapper... but 5kg of fish is too much for 2 people in a day or two.

    So we just enjoyed the sights and sounds.
