    came here before sunrise
    came here before sunrise that is interesting. no matter of fisherman how to unloading/loading their catch, land worker how to retrieve the large fishing net from boat, how to deal with seagulls(stealing vs fight out), cats,dogs walk around busy worker etc...that is also funny. After sunrise that worker fixing broken net,vendors are busy for setup stalls, selling the catching etc....still impressive. worth for visit at early time.

    The freshest fish I’ve ever seen!
    As you walk towards the fishing pier you are greeted by the sight and sound of many gulls ams as you get closer the smell of fish and the sight of many boats greets you. It is a bit muddy/fishy underfoot so wear covered shoes but you can see all the fish laid out for sale. Worth timing when some boats are coming in as the way they unload is amazing. One guy fills a basket, throws to the other end of the boat to another guy who throws the full basket up from the boat to the top of the harbour wall where it’s put into baskets for sale/transportation. Worth a visit!
