Men with baskets of fish for sale can be found on the dam. The varieties available are tilapi [bulti], bayad and catfish. Normally a basket will hold four or 5 large fish and many more smaller ones.
It is wise to bargain as the price can drop by as much as a third with persistance. The salesman will skin and fillet the fish for an extra £5 Sud.
What to buy: Tilapia or bayad
What to pay: 3kg will cost about 40 SDG when skinned and filletted.
