Kaasimedu Fish Market

A Busy Day

Kaasimedu Market is indeed a busy place in the early mornings, were a lot of buying and selling of sea foods take place, as soon as i entered kaasimedu i was surprised by the amount of activities involved in a fish market.

I was walking around the market and wanted to take the picture of fishes being unloaded from the boats and when i saw this scene i clicked this picture to show it as the first activity of the day.

I haven taken these two pictures to show the team effort of the fishermen.

I have taken this picture to show that there is an auction going on for the fishes as the people have gathered to ask their bids.

I have taken this picture to show that even quarrels can happen during the auctions between the sellers and the buyers. I was not able to get through the crowd so i had to put my camera in live view and raise my hands above my head to take this picture.

Money Money Money!

I have taken this picture to show the amount of money involved in daily basis.

I taken this picture to show the quantity if fishes that are sold by one sales person in a day. In order to cover all the fishes i have taken a top angle shot.

I have taken this picture to show that how people at kaasimedu even sort out the best out of the scrap for sales to reduce wastage.

I have taken this picture to showcase that people from the churches/orphanage homes themselves show up in the market for purchase.

As i was walking around the market i found these colorful flags on the boats with the background of a sunrise and also the love of the fisherman for their country that they have also hoisted their national flag i thought it as a concept of rising India.

I wanted to click this picture as to show the cultural belief of the people to beak a pumpkin when they do something new. 

This picture shows an old fisherman stitching the torn fishing nets together which is an important job as they cannot do fishing with a fishing net that has holes in it.

I have clicked this picture that to transport the ice its not possible to do by hand, but they use a fork like holder and drag the ice.

I have clicked these three picture to show the different types of tools used by different people to break the ice which is used to preserve the fishes.
