Sunday morning fish market and wine cellar action

Here's a little Sunday morning fish market and wine cellar action for your viewing pleasure. I know how easily some of you are grossed out by fish that isn't presented to you in the form of fish and chips. You're welcome.

A large part of our travels is built around experiencing the local food and drink, and there is no better way to see this than to tour the central fish market of a city, and also take in the vineyards/ wine cellars.

This has nothing to do with the Winery, but was one of the better brews available in Chile.

These long and skinny guys are Razor Clams. One of our absolute favourite shellfish… DELICIOUS.

After wandering around all the fish vendors, we stopped for breakfast inside the market and had ourselves far too much ceviches of conger eel (not really an eel, more like an ugly fish), and uni (the plate full of yellow sea-urchin).
