Kep crabs
Arrival of the boat in the morning mist
After being caught, the crabs are placed in a side net to maintain optimal freshness.
ChatGPT said: The net with the crabs is pulled back onto the boat
In case of a modest catch, the net is brought directly to shore
Then its contents are poured into a basket
Quite often, the net with the crabs is emptied directly into baskets right on the boat
...which are then brought to shore
The crabs are then sorted
According to their size
Weighing the baskets
And recording before handing the crabs over to a seller
If the crabs haven’t been tied with elastics on the boat, a small hand...
...takes care of it
The weighed and sorted crabs are placed in bamboo baskets
To preserve the freshness of the crustaceans, the baskets are placed in the sea while waiting for customers
On the docks, female vendors...
Try to attract customers
As soon as a customer shows interest in buying, a team...
Pulls the baskets back to shore
Convince them to make a purchase...
A hesitant customer
The chosen and purchased crabs are then weighed with a hand scale
...or a floor scale
After the sale, the crab basket is returned to the water
And waiting for new customers.
