Village people and fish—how intertwined these two things are. A plate full of small river fish. Caught with a little difficulty by casting a net or using a rod from a nearby canal, beel, or pond. The fish still have mud on them, which shows that they are very fresh. Such fish are not only food for the people of the countryside, but also a part of their joy. The fish caught on the way to the market in the morning or during high tide has a different taste. Especially small fish—such as tengra, koi, puti or other local fish—are delicious when fried or stewed. Smellless, soft, and naturally delicious. The picture of this plate full of fish highlights a simple, intimate and happy moment of rural life. Here is the perfect combination of hard work, nature and people's love for food.
