Fishing Village in Chennai

Last week, Paige's 4th grade class went on a field trip to a local fishing village in Chennai. We saw what happened with the fish once it was caught, pulled up onto the boat, loaded on the wagon, then packed in ice and driven to local stores. They had to work fast with the ice blocks because they melt so quickly. Some of the smaller fish is dried and then eaten as is, or ground into powder, etc. It didn't smell too bad when we were by the water, but boy did it stink inland and at the dried fish area.

It was very educational and interesting. I've made a slide show with a few of the pictures we took. Hope you enjoy:
