Sunday morning, nothing going on but a lively market at the waterfront, where fishermen were unloading their latest catch. Housewives, restaurant owners, young couples with children all got their Sunday dinner right from the men who caught it. The animal word of Coquimbo knows its calendar, and was waiting with bated breath for the offal, which the fishermen threw back into the sea after cleaning the daily catch.
Seals, sea lions, gulls, dogs, cats, pelicans all lined up for THEIR Sunday treat...
After wandering around for a while amongst the dozens and dozens of under cover and outside stalls I chose an inviting looking shore side eatery and had myself a fresh fish and fires treat - delicious!
