A short interruption from beignet

I couldn't help it. I was going to try to stick to my series on beignet, and then I went to Soumbidioune, the largest fish market in Dakar. Right on the water in the early evenings, fishermen bring their boats in and sell fish and seafood in the nearby stalls. The end result is this lovely scene pictured below of croix rouge fish (in French), sea urchins, and mussels all purchased for a total of about $6. I was too happy not to write about it. A couple of guys down by the water also grilled the mussels and urchins for me on the spot. Where else can you get something like this??
