Helpfulness
I managed to catch one photo of an out-rigger canoe heading out to see what he can find. Barramundi was a very popular fish in Papua New Guinea - it was my favourite meal on Friday nights in Port Moresby when we went to the Returned Services League Club for an evening meal with the children (it was also the only place that had a TV for them to watch videos once per week with their friends).
Barramundi is a giant freshwater Perch which could be caught in the nearby rivers and estuaries, as well as at sea during their migration phases. These fish can grow to be 6 feet (1.8 m) in length and weigh up to 130 lb (60 kg). They are one of the premier sport and table fish in Australia and PNG - one of the best fish I have ever tasted!

Things in PNG tended to be simple, yet rugged. And so it was with these large dug-out canoes along the harbourfront as they waited for the tide to come in. Some of the main types of fish that the locals would go after were barramundi, black bass, tarpon and saratoga. These were also processed and filleted at the local fish plant.
