Visitors are welcome at the fish
port. One has to sign first the log book at the main gate of the fish port.
Then I was asked to proceed to the Food Safety Compliance Unit office (FSCU)
where I had to rent a pair of white
boots. All the workers in the fish port wear white boots and visitors are
likewise asked to do so. Twenty pesos was the rental operated by a
cooperative. Then a security guard was
assigned to me as my tourist guide. There are three market areas in the port.
Market one is for the delivery of the tuna fish, market 2 and 3 are for small
fishes with market two for domestic sales and market 3 for canning. The people were very respectful and even
where the tuna where being weighed, they would give way for picture taking
with the visitor.
