A different kind of fishing line

A different kind of fishing line

I’m just over 6 feet tall, and almost (very very almost) bumped my forehead into this delightful little surprise hanging near where colourful boats offload their fish at Kalk Bay harbour. Can you imagine anything worse than bumping into a clothes line populated with gooey fish?!

Although I never asked, I imagine that these fish have been set aside to become fish biltong in the cool sea breeze. I’m South African, and I’ve never had fish biltong. This is something I plan not to change. :)

    My appraisal to the photo: PFUI!

    Do you know what kind of fish it is (actually: was). :D

    Exactly Ali! I wasn’t quite sure, but I thought at the time it was snoek. I’m hoping that someone else more knowledgeable about fish will help us out and let us know.

    Look at the blueish black color on the outside of the fish, its definitely snoek.
