Do you like fish? I do! I prefere fish to any kind of meat…
Today in the morning I went to the Weligama beach. Along the coastal road I found many stalls with a fresh fish, octopus and shrimp were also present. After days on my cheap B&B (bread and bananas) diet I had a big temptation. Fish must be cheap here, just meters from the beach! – I was thinking. Nothing like that – they ask 800 rs (like 6 USD) per kilo! I started to joke with sellers. One of them said: I am going for my breakfast, if you will sell at least a kilo at that time I will give you one middle-size fish! Ok! I started to encourage people passing by. There was even one little shark on my stall… Sorry… Nothing was sold, but I had a lot of fun! Neighbours from other stalls kept eyes on me all the time. People passing by were saying (I agree with them) that 800 rs is too much. Finally they put the fish with ice into the boxes and sent them by car before 12 to Colombo.
No fish today. But I am patient traveller, I am sure I will try it on Sarurday! 🙂
