Have a wonderful day hivers!

The pandemic still the reason why we are barred on going to the main fish market where I was going every Friday. Before, it was my routine, a source of my sideline selling fish. But now no more. I couldn't go to another place.

I miss sharing something interesting topic for the #marketfriday initiative of @dswigle. I decided to visit my gallery looking for my market escapade before the pandemic.

Fresh fishes from the Red Sea of Jizan, K.S.A.

My workplace is 30 minutes' drive going to the main city of this province. It is along the seashore where the fish market is located.

Every Friday is the official fish market day. We could also find some other merchandise and livestock too. The location of the fish market is also surrounded by malls and some grocery and international stores.

This is the place where people from different countries around the world come buying fresh fish.

The salesman and owner of the fish were selling g their fish on a wholesale basis and it was not based on per kilo.

Some other people were selling it by the box.

He was our friend who extended his effort in cleaning the fish and we paid his labor.

I took this picture of the hammerhead shark but I didn't buy it. I never eat this kind of fish.

I think these are also kind of whale or shark. I don't know if I'm wrong. I just found it now in my gallery.

The red fishes are called Maya-Maya in Filipino.

Mackerel were being sold by the box and retailed by per kilo. And I was one of the retailers and brought it house to house.

Shrimps and prawns were sold per kilo also.

The tiny red squids were favourite and it has been six months that I never had it.

*These white squids were expensive compare to the red or pink squids. The taste after cooking has also different but it was still delicious.

In this fish market, we could have a chance for bargaining the price and buy at the lower value. It depends upon how you made it talking with the fish owner. How many years I had been doing it and I really gained a lot.

But today, I don't know how it goes? And how the flow of the marketing after the 15% tax imposed by the governments. I have it in my mine sooner, I mist go there again.

I hope the pandemic will gone so I could start again my every Friday market.

Additional Information

The aquatic resources of the Red sea are too rich. The government is caring for its welfare. They imposed 6 months off to the sea season. There are fish sanctuary that no one could touch it or no fishing for 6 months. They have also valuables pearls on their ocean. Sea shells are just scattering on the sea shore and only Filipinos aee picking it up.

This is my throwback fish #marketfriday. Thank you @dswigle for your awesome initiative.

All pictures are mine.
