I wonder if part of that is because they salt the fish when they dry them or because there is always someone nearby cleaning fish and then throwing the remains out into the water for them and the sea gulls. There is probably also someone watching over the drying fish ready to shoo the pelicans or other birds away.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-60293772451753338362018-02-03T08:17:18.474-05:002018-02-03T08:17:18.474-05:00Interesting story and we can see that happening.

I know that some people use dried fish for organic fertilizer; I've also seen dried fish eaten with hot mustard in Norway and Denmark.
