Now behind each fishmonger, at floor level, there are some workers (artists I call them) who for a fee, will clean and cut your fish. You see the general progression from a fish to pieces all in a minute or so. To watch these people work and a lot of the times look away and talk while making these strong and precise cuts is quite amazing to watch. The guy in the picture, does this for about 5 hours in the morning and then goes home to sleep. Nothing else, my uncle reckons he makes enough money to live from this work. The final picture is the fish made as a meen vechithe the following night. There is also a picture of the fish my uncle bought.
