Along the shore of Fort Cochin are some "Chinese" fishing nets. Apparently brought here by Kublai Khan... thought that would make them Mongolian but there you go. They must have been a mission to build but once up they seem to make fishing pretty easy. That said, modern fishing methods and the effects of the Tsunami have apparently ruined the business. Luckily for them however they are pretty good at getting tourists to pay for the chance to do some fishing of their own. I bet that makes more money than selling fish.
Jude and I managed to catch a couple of White Mullet, which we then had to pay for(!) which we then took to a local eatery who grilled them up with garlic, lemon and ginger... and a side order of fries. Not very traditional I guess but tasty none the less.
Now we're cookin'...do they do Mars bars?
