We later drove to the fishermen's colony nearby, called a kuppam, to buy some fish at bargain prices. My heart went out to those poor ladies wrapped in their shawls braving the chilly wind and hoping to make a few bucks before bedtime. The houses packed one behind another had probably felt the worst of the tsunami of Dec 2004. Houses rebuilt with hope and determination. And love and fear for the Sea Mother, their protector and destroyer.

hi, nice.. hope u had a good breeze.
is the fish costlier there?
take care ust
No it is much cheaper than what u get at the cold storage or the fish monger. Say, Rs. 200 for an over 2 kg fish as against Rs 300/kg at our regular shop. it was pretty fresh too- prolly the evening catch.
Only the cleaning and slicing were bad.
