From Accra, traveling on the coast road past Teshie and Nungua, veering right at the police barrier, along the beach the fishmongers set up small booths, similar to those used by the sellers of mobile phone cards. Popular varieties are red fish, small yellowfin tuna, sole, croaker, and octopus.
The ladies are always glad to see me. I pay high prices. I ask only for the filet and let them keep the heads. What's not to like?
A recent report in
IRIN News suggests the fishery in West Africa is being depleted. Catches seem slim. The ladies report they're not as busy as they used to be.
