    The fishing market in Plato (Praia, Santiago island) is located in a small building on the left side of the market. Women are the dominant figures behind stalls. by: women_fish_markets Views[1214] The tail of the Galapagos shark, hope I will see these ALIVE when I'm there. by: pmok Views[375] First time I saw this shark at the market, we had to study it for a while before confirming it's a Galapagos shark, distinctive for its black tip fins and tail. by: pmok Views[410] Fishes strung up to be sold, the string of red fish, 8 total, was sold for $5. by: pmok Views[1097] Cut up bodies of several punta negras, black tip shark. Surprised the smaller fin in the back wasn't finned. by: pmok Views[1050]
     
    Close-up of a ray's eyes, never realized the Another large rabon shark caught by: pmok Views[717] Señor sushi with a gigantic marlin, he needed an assistant while cutting it, and later took 3 men to lift the body. One of the fishermen told us he thought it probably weighed close to 100 kg, or 220 lbs, and would cost hundreds to buy. Score! by: pmok Views[241] Another rabon shark caught, the photo does not do it justice. The color of the rabon is beautiful, grayish with a hint of blue. by: pmok Views[229] Several rays were cut inside the boat, here is the aftermath: blood and unwanted body parts. by: pmok Views[236]
     
    Not sure what kind of fish this is, but as soon as it was cut, the meat is salted to be cured. by: pmok Views[197] Amidst the frenzy of the fish market, a dog sleeps. There are numerous stray dogs in Puerto Lopez, some in better conditions than others. This one is better for sure. by: pmok Views[180] A boat with several rays, one very large one and several smaller ones. Really don't know why they're targeted, for the meat? don't think these rays have the gill rackers in manta rays that are prized (by the Chinese, again). by: pmok Views[179] A All the restaurants at the fish market are
     
    Didn't see the body but here are the fins of a punta negra, or black tip shark. by: pmok Views[210] Interesting to see up close the inside of a fish by: pmok Views[636] Found a very small Vieja shark being butchered, no more than 80 cm, practically a baby! by: pmok Views[169] Those dozens of large fish, cleaned and cut, loaded into the ice truck ready to be transported. by: pmok Views[150] A boy cleaning the fish that has the cartilaginous organ prized by the Chinese to make soup. As many as hundreds of this fish are caught per day. by: pmok Views[166]
     
    One morning, a boat had dozens of this fish, all equally large. When weighed, some of them were as much as 70 lbs each! by: pmok Views[131] Señor sushi at it again, this time with a large Rabon shark. by: pmok Views[159] Look at this photo and the one before consecutively, and you'll notice the stingray is breathing. The area in between the eyes where the gill rackers reside were going up and down. by: pmok Views[221] Look at this photo and the one after consecutively, and you'll notice the stingray is breathing. The area in between the eyes where the gill rackers reside were going up and down. by: pmok Views[228] Here's the giant stingray still alive on the beach. A kid was checking it out as it desperately tried to breath. by: pmok Views[1394]
     
    The A pile of hammerhead sharks were hidden under the butcher table and behind a crate. Sneaky bastards. by: pmok Views[239] don't know what this fish is but it's so large, it's bigger than the tire on that truck! by: pmok Views[190] A huge el dorado at the fish market one morning, the mother wanted the kid to pose next to it but he was scared, so she got into the photo also. funny how parents make kids do stuff like that! by: pmok Views[240] Another food vendor at the fish market, this one sells quail eggs. I would have one except it's insanely high in cholesterol, rather spend the quota on squid. by: pmok Views[252]
     
    Shrimps and squids vendor, not many at the market. by: pmok Views[223] One more food vendor at the fish market, he sells bread and a hot drink that's white (in the pot), which he keeps hot over burning coal. by: pmok Views[272] A butcher cuts and cleans a tuna, the red flesh looks so delicious, give me some wasabi now! by: pmok Views[201] Another food vendor at fish market, he sells different kinds of freshly cooked carne with a selection of buns to choose from, then makes the slaw there to accompany the meat and bread. want to try one too! by: pmok Views[213] One of many food vendors at the fish market, he has an oven hooked to a propane tank, so the bread stays warm. hope to try one! by: pmok Views[214]
     
    Saw fishermen cleaning these at the market so I asked what they were. Saw these giant squids at the fish market and could not pass up, bought one for US$2 (probably eve less for locals). by: pmok Views[459] The fish was as big as the guy's torso! by: pmok Views[267] Muchos grande pescados en el mercado hoy y solamante pocos tiburones, muy bueno! by: pmok Views[427] Another batch of hammerhead, that's a larger male not fitting into the crate (can tell the sex by the two claspers). by: pmok Views[1473]
     
    A good catch of squids, plus a huge marlin cut into pieces, both actually look tasty. The sharks are on the ground, fins gone already. by: pmok Views[542] This was a rarely seen ray in Puerto Lopez, don't even know the Spanish name for it. by: pmok Views[225] Even with bad weather, this boat came back with almost equal catch of tuna and hammerhead sharks; the sharks are barely larger than the tunas! by: pmok Views[259] I felt like this arbon was looking at me and saying When the boats come in, a herd of buyers and carriers swarm the boats to make deals. by: pmok Views[214]
     
    Where the rays should not be: the back of a truck. by: pmok Views[206] These rays were so large, they needed three people to lift into the truck. by: pmok Views[209] The type of catch I like to see more of at the fish market, the sustainable (and delicious) ones! by: pmok Views[246] Sometimes the fishermen hide the sharks and rays so we cannot count them. I found these two sharks hidden behind a crate, think they are Pacific Angelhead. by: pmok Views[234] Shrimps are also popular, here fishermen and buyers make deals at the fish market. Buyers may be from a restaurant, a seafood purveyor, or just people looking for something to cook and eat. by: pmok Views[312]
