Uma akka& #39;s fish fry - the star of the story https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">
Fishers labouring over a purse net on Elliots beach - standard activity on winter mornings
A catch of squid stains a boat with ink, at Bessie again
A rare catch of conchs which became an impromptu feast on the beach
Yet, beach shacks have to advertise & #39;pure veg& #39; food. Why? South Chennai Brahminism
Meanwhile, places like Palagaithotti kuppam in #vadachennai battle coastal erosion + road/industrial development
There& #39;s also a whole other story about how urban development is squeezing out spaces for valuable foodways like mostly women-run fish markets and older fisherwomen drying fish on beaches
ps: many thanks to @demarionunn for suggesting I send this article to @whetstone_mag in the first place and to @vittleslondon for encouraging first time & #39;food writers& #39; like myself to send out their stories!
