Smells Fishy?




Last weekend, Zach and I went down to the fish souq to check it out. We went at about 10 am and as such, it was slowing down a little, but there were still plenty of sights to see and smell. As we walked in, I had second thoughts about wearing flip flops, however, it was too late. We walked up aisle after aisle checking out the different types of fish. I couldn't tell you what kinds there were as I know nothing about fish, except that there were big and small. There were also squid, sharks, crabs, and eels for sale. In the back, you took your fish purchase to one of several gentlemen to have it cleaned. This area what interesting to watch the different characters and their cutting techniques. We even saw one gentleman holding the fish with his feet while cutting. We asked to take his picture, but he said no. We're not sure if it was because it was during the holy month or sometimes the muslim followers do not want an image taken of them. Whatever the case, it was still cool to see. Hope you enjoy the pics!
