Fish at the Alotau Market

Fish at Alotau Market.There is such a wide variety of fish available at the Alotau Market, it's hard to find a few photo's to accurately describe what we might be eating on any given adventure. I've included a few shots here from a recent visit to the market in February 2008.

Fish come in basically 3 different forms, fresh, coooked and smoked.

Fresh fish such as these tuna are plentiful and also very nice to eat. They are often prepared by grilling on a fire, or poaching in coconut cream.

Cooked fish are sometimes available at the market in pre-prepared pots like a kind of stew. You bring your own plate and the locals will serve it to you. This usually comes with yams, sweet potatoes and Ibeka (A vegetable like spinach) or even fern leaf.

Fish at Alotau MarketIt's comon to find smoked fish fish such as Tuna, Wahoo, Mackeral, Giant Trevally, Coral Trout, Wrasses and Parot fish. Fish like this keep for about 2 days and are best served re-heated on rice.
