San Pedro Fish Market

APRIL 7 Today we met with friends for a stroll through the San Pedro Fish Market. The fish, whole, packed on ice and neatly lined captured our attention. Not only could one purchase a fresh catch to take home, but many customers had theirs cooked and served right there on the wharf.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea gulls crying.

SEA FEVER by John Masefield
