Fish mongers of old kerala

Old sounds...heard no more!

#fishmongers in #kerala have a special call. Kooooiii. 

Even though we eat no fish, these are sounds we grew up with.

And the apparatus he uses to hold his ‘for sale’ fish... #unique 

A long bamboo pole with ropes, holds two large vessels and he holds them aloft in his shoulder.

With the advent of fish shops and supermarkets; the #meenkaar are a dwindling tribe.
