Rough Guide Brixton - an object from the market stalls



Dried Fish - a speciality from Sierra Leone. It is a whole fish ( from head to tail) grilled on the BBQ and dried afterwards. It looks burnt (beiges, browns, black and greys)

when I look at them I think:

Fire! - strange - tradition - tasty?

Seeing those fishes in Brixton is not surprising as it is an Afro-Caribbean area and there are many shop selling food.

If it would be sold in Harrods for instance I am sure that people would be very surprised but at the same time interested.

In an art gallery it could be easily considered as a fine art piece.
