This saturday we took a train from Hualien to Nanfang'ao, a fishing harbour about an hour north of us, to see some sights, watch the catch come in (and check out the buckets of illegally caught reef fish and sharks) and have some fresh seafood.
We got to the harbour in time to see four or five boats come in, unload and to watch the hordes of buyers sometimes scramble and bustle, sometimes stare, at the fish. Interesting to see what the ocean hides beneath its glistening surface....
The south harbour, boats serenely waiting; the ocean not so serenely waiting for the boats.
Fresh eyeballs.... ;Crystal peering down at the shark waiting to be brought in.
Gonads (apparently really good on a bed of raw cabbage...) and buyers fighting for their fish at the market.
