ISLAMABAD FISHING

Now that the winter has cooled things down a bit, the fish sellers are out. This one has set up along a stream in a residential part of town and has a good selection of fresh and salt water fish... all fresh and on ice. He told my driver that he is there every morning with a fresh load, selling to the public during the day and taking all the unsold fish to the restaurants in the evenings. For cut and and cleaned "chunks" of some unknown marine fish, he charges 440 rupees per kilo... that is about $2.37/lb.
