Make way for the fish sellers

I always love to head to a local market to really see how the local people live. To see what they buy, to gauge the real price of things and to experience the buzz. 
Near where I’m staying in Mumbai is Sasoon fish market. On the coast the fishing boats fill the harbour and the market pulses early morning with the frenzied activity of buying selling the catch of the day. Both men and women masterfully balance full bowls of fish on their heads as they traverse the slippery pathways. Luckily I kept my balance, as it would have been horrible to find yourself on the floor with the fish juice! However there was rightfully a lot of pushing and shoving, as I carried my camera aloft trying to capture the best image.
