Piura – The market in every Peruvian town is the center of activity every morning. Spread out for blocks the little stalls and carts are a fantastic confusing jumble of color, sound and smells. It can be overwhelming for the uninitiated and those unable to speak the language. The fishmongers display the catch in front of them on their table then proceed to gut, scale and fillet it all for the buyer as they watch. Their hands move quick and sure over every fish; a skill gained by experience worn heavily on the warped and marred cutting boards they use.
