Those who came out to see the photos on June 24th brought good memories of the old fishing industry in San Pedro and those who grow up at the time of the fishing industry back in the 1900's. When the fishing industry where much popular at the time and less populated as a village the fishermen spent more time hauling more fish immediately putting it in a tank on the boat whenever the TARAYA\fishing net is thrown.
The fishermen sailed off to Belize City and Corozal to sell fish which they benefited more on selling fish. If the fish wasn't sold all the fish was cleaned, opened, and the meat is cut and last salt is rubbed on the fish overnight until 90 percent is preserved. After the process it was taken to Corozal, Belize City, Sarteneja and along the villages in Barrios Guatemala. This process is called corned dried\Pescado Seco meaning it was dried on the sun until it is 90 percent salted.
This year the week event will come alive with festivities music and cultural presentations. I visited the Opening Art Show On June 24th which started at around 6:30pm at Friendship Park in San Pedro. Here are the photo's down Below:
