Fruit and Fish


Friday 11 February - My first full day in Bahrain was a busy one. First order of business was to visit the fruit and veg market and the fish market. The fruit and veg market was held in a big warehouse where the produce can be kept cool in the summer months. It was a bit overwhelming but we picked out some nice clementines and figs. The fish market was amazing and I happily spent an hour or two wandering around and snapping photos. There were some beautiful tropical fish in vibrant colours as well as unusually shaped fish. There were crabs and shrimp and funny looking lobsters as well as small sharks and squid. It was a very interesting place and many of the fishmongers were happy to show off their wares and have their pictures taken. We picked up some squid some lobsters and some shrimp for dinner.
