Shopping in Fes, Morocco

Fish shop in Fes, Morocco

While wandering the streets of Fes during our visit to Morocco I was constantly surprised by the sights: the colours, sounds, smells and the wide variety of items for sale. Near where I took the photo above of fish for sale there were vegetable stalls, a butcher shop, another selling glasses and watches, yet another selling umbrellas and a few steps away one specialising in chickens (see photo below).

I was actually intrigued by the chickens in the photo below. They seemed quite docile and content to just sit on the scales until they were weighed. If you look closely you can see another one trussed up in a plastic bag. I’m not sure if it was still alive or not.

The Sydney Fish Markets was one of the interesting places we went during our holiday in Sydney last year. This is an amazing place to visit. Everywhere there are food outlets, from fast foods through to full restaurants. Everywhere people a bustling along shoulder to shoulder vying for position. Some of the more popular vendors are shown by the length of the lineup of people snaking from their premises. Everywhere is the smell of fresh fish – or cooking seafood. The noise when we were there was probably a little higher than normal as it was school holiday time and there were a lot of children around.
