Watch fishermen fill backseat of vehicle with smelly fish
This video shows a group of fishermen hastily loading freshly caught fish onto the backseats of a sedan vehicle. Something I have never imagined seeing in my life and surely something that will make most people cringe.
During a recent visit to the Western Cape in South Africa, we wandered down the docks of a large harbour, interested to see what all the boats brought in after a good morning’s catch. We also use this opportunity to buy fresh fish directly from the local fishermen at a good price. The daily catching and selling of fish is the only source of income for most people in this particular area in the Western Cape. While wandering along the harbour, looking for the freshest catch of the day, I noticed in the distance something I thought at first cannot be. I walked a little closer and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A group of fishermen busy loading the backseat of their sedan vehicle full of fish that is called snoek. The fishermen was not wasting any time and hastily loaded an incredible amount of snoek fish into the back of the vehicle, throwing the fish one by one through the back window. It looked like it was not the first time this vehicle has transported fish in this manner. I was totally blown away by the total lack of care for the interior of the vehicle. The fishermen clearly worked with a plan and was on a mission. I obviously had to ask the fishermen why do they use the inside of a sedan vehicle to load their fish in? Their short explanation to me quickly cleared up my confusion. That vehicle is their only way to get their freshly caught fish from the docks straight onto the cold rooms and then onto buyers. They do not have money for refrigerated transport or a loading truck. The fishermen decided out of desperation to offer up one of their own vehicles for this purpose daily, just to make a living. While the sight of fish in the back of a vehicle will have most people cringe, I take my hat off to the “do whatever it takes” attitude of these fishermen.
