There are two types of boats that fish the near by waters off Lombok. The small cutout day boat of the outrigger design and the larger traditional fishing vessel that goes out for days at a time. Once landed, the fish are handled each and every one, a total of six times before they are cut for me. They are off loaded from the boats into small trays that hold about 20 kgs of fish and then carried to a large bin where they are iced down. Then for some unknown reason to me, they are pulled out of the bin, separated and placed on the ground, in the mud.
Some ice is thrown on top for appearances.
Then when the bin is empty, it is loaded on a truck. This took 10 men. Then the fish is weighted and then placed in the truck, back in the same bin it was in before, and then iced again. This all takes place in 90 degree weather and just for fun, it started raining cats and dogs. The rain, although lowering the temperature to a balmy 85 degrees, increases the humidity to about 95 percent.
