6 Fish Market Customer in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island in Galápagos, EC

Every morning and afternoon, commercial fishermen arrive onshore and drag their packed coolers to a modest yet active fish market. The fresh catches displayed on the cutting table might include red snapper, grouper, tuna and scorpion fish. If you visit the island during the last three months of the year, you will see the locals snap up red and green spiny lobsters. The market’s best customers are brown pelicans. These gangly seabirds wait patiently for scraps then burst into competition when one falls.
