Fresh fish fillets
posted by Paul
Fishing boats arrive in Kalk Bay after a long shift out at sea. Fishermen hop off the boat and unload crate after crate of ice-covered fish. A few men are responsible for scaling the fish, but this lady is the one who knows just how to cut them up into perfect-looking fillets. I watched her for a while and it was clear that she's being doing this job for years - she worked efficiently and absolutely precisely.I would have bought a fish from her, but thought it not wise to attempt the long train trip home with a freshly cut fish under my arm.

When my family and I were in Kalk Bay, my dad took one of the scales and I stuck it in my diary. :)
A nice memory for a great day!
My word the fish from here really would qualify for the term 'fresh'...is it a particular variety of fish that is caught in the area?
@scraps of bev - I'm not sure what fish it was, it could have been Yellow Tail or perhaps Snoek. I'm useless at identifying fish, so it could in fact have been anything. ;)
What time of day do they come in?
@Anonymous - This photo was taken at about 11am. I'm not sure exactly what time the boats arrived though.
