Market

es














Each morning, Kausik's father walks to the market for the days food. Kausik is in front of his home, following his father to the market. This is their street.

At the market, one fishmonger.
















































All are freshly picked, caught, etc that day.


















How fast can you butcher a chicken?

Chicken and fish are prepared immediately on order...I timed one man who averaged processing chicken, from standing live, to butchered, skinned, cut to suit the customer, bagged and sold--all in 80 seconds.

When the heart is still beating after the sale is complete and the exact change is returned, that's FRESH!

Same with fish...you choose the fish you want, and it's prepared for you, as you please. I thought customer service was stunning.

Potatoes cost one quarter cent per pound. Yes, 4 lb/ 1 cent.
