A Fish Fry!

Ernest-Jr. is a Philippine native transplant to Israel who makes a habit of photographing and blogging his adventures as he gets around the country.

Ernest knows about buying fresh-off-the-boat fish in Jaffa – an idea that might appeal to those who prefer the open air market, on the dock sort of experience. His share:

This morning was quite a cold, sun-less (well almost, the sun barely can peer through the gray cloudy sky) Tel Aviv day. We knew that we cannot expect so much fish on sale today and so it is not going to be the usual cheap-fish day. Still we decided to go to Yafo Port (before taking some promenade at Jaffa Beach), hoping for some boats already present with their catch for the day. There where two boats that came in as we arrived. We knew it all along. Fish (danis) are sold at 50 shekels a kilo, 20 to 25 shekels higher than the usual price. Mang Bert instead bought some crabs at 100 shekels for 2 kilos (ordinarily for the same price, we can buy 3 kilos of crabs). Hopefully, fish will be more bountiful (and with prices back to normal) next week.
