African market of the Week – Kivukoni Fish Market, Dar es Salaam

Witness the daily routine of a fisher at Kivukoni Fish Market. In the morning, boats bring in their fresh catch, which fishmongers auction, scale, and gut on site. The huge market features two main sections divided into eight zones, some of which are housed in a large concrete building. Sardines, kingfish, snapper, octopuses, stingray, squid, and shrimp go quickly in this chaotic and colorful place. The scene includes German-style colonial buildings lining the waterfront, and a bustle of women sitting in circles auctioneering.
