Tigger’s photo: The stinky place

These crabs were for sale.  They were still alive.  And it was stinky.

Feria libre, Cuenca, Ecuador

  1. Crabs wouldn’t stink if they are fresh, do they? Probably the smell of salt water. I usually see crabs sold in net bags or in basins but this is different AND its actually arranged, really good shot – something rare to my eye.

    • Tigger: Thanks

      Dad: It wasn’t the crabs, it was the rest of the seafood in the area that had him pulling up his shirt to cover his nose. LOL It was a very unique arrangement to me as well. I had never seen them sold like this, and many of them were still moving which made it seem odder, especially since Cuenca is a few hours from the ocean.

  2. Haha, good photo Tigger! I do like seafood but those crabs don’t look particularly appetising 😛

    • Tigger is not a fan of crab. Of course, he hasn’t tried it either. I, on the other hand, LOVE it. Even if they are stinky.

  3. Crabs are just spiders with shells. The bad smell is simply evil seeping out.

  4. A little sun, a little time. Yeah I can imagine those bad boys would be pretty ripe. They do make for a great picture though.

    • It wasn’t the crabs that stunk, it was the fish market.
