Catch of The Day
















While following a pod of playful dolphins in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Benalim Beach, we saw this boat of Goan fishermen. It’s just another day at work for them, but for us this was a rare opportunity to watch the team work involved with hoisting a large net full of the ‘catch of the day’. As we approached the boat, the crew was chanting a melodic song to a tune I can still remember. As they unloaded their bounty, my husband who speaks the local language, asked them for a sample. One man poured a bucket of shrimp and baby mackerel into our boat, which became an amazing fish curry later that day. This is one of the best visual memories of my trip because it captured the essence of Goan culture. These are the hardworking fishermen who provide the staple food source for the community. We were lucky to watch them in action.
