Calangute fish market and the pretty fish seller / lovely prawns

 The pictures don't do her justice, unfortunately I am not a professional photographer, to capture this fish seller's very pretty face, in the middle of the chaos of the fish market in Calangute's Tinto. I had been left with the camera while others were elsewhere and came to buy mince samosas with my mum, who ended up buying the gorgeous prawns, pictured below.
Its madness, like a usual fish market, but the fish is lovely and very reasonable. The mainly ladies selling their fish/prawns even clean it for you and are very sweet and chatty.
In so many years of living in the UK, nothing comes close to the taste of fresh prawns from Bombay or Goa. Not the Sainsbury's tiger prawns or the Costco giant prawns or the city centre fish market's lovely looking prawns for a copious amount of money. Have paid more than £10 for a small handful but nothing tastes like these.
Just fried with some salt, and, in this picture, some suji/semolina, they are heaven. My dad used to love these and my children today love them just as much.
