Fishmonger

Title – Fishmonger
Date – September 1999
Location - Ghizo Island – Solomon Islands

Although they are pushing hard globally, Tesco have yet to reach the Solomon Islands and the fresh fish counter is still some way off. However few retail chains in the world can hope to compete with the freshness of the fish available from local fishermen in the Solomon Islands. They catch their fish and clean them within hours, before selling them to the highest bidder on the shore where they land. To us it may not seem like the cleanest way of preparing the fish you are about to buy and eat, but remember this is the way the world worked for tens of thousands of years and we are still here today to talk about it.

Beyond The Blue run Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop designed to prepare individuals for the perils and pitfalls they will encounter along the way when they travel. These include preparing people for the changes that they will come across in the far flung parts of the world so that the experience remains fresh, but the culture shock is less pronounced.
