got squid?

Chennai, India - neighborhood market
November 8, 2006

I've been looking into market squid, squid boats, and local customs of fishing, because I have a series of additional squid boat pics to post on Nature ID. Then I remembered I had these pics from India. I saw boats on the beach, but I don't know if they use nets and lights like we do here. These guys were such hams for the camera. Notice the guard-looking fellows in the back? Hmm? Now, I'm curious to know how they got their squid...

ps 06/14/11 - I just discovered I never got around to posting the additional boat pics from Monterey Bay. Will try to get to that at some point.

I like these photos. Ive always wanted to visit India. Im not sure why, I just have. I also want to visit the Swiss Alps too before I die. My grandfather was stationed in India, and I have alot of things he brought back home to grandmother. He had some interesting stories to tell, and I guess hearing them as a child just made me want to visit India. I have never eaten Squid, and really have no intentions to. :)

Thanks for visiting this blog, too, Kelly. I plan on posting more India pics as time permits. On my bucket list is Madagascar!
