  • Icelandic cod fishermen drain water from a fish storage container on a fishing boat near the small port of Sandgerdi on the western side of Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland.

They clean the fish in the belly of the ship, toss the guts, and then, after repeating this cycle many times for 8 hours, head for port.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Emil and Erika Madsen's nephew Julian bites down on an Arctic char, half in jest, for the camera because the fish is large, but locals say that children often eat small fish raw. It's said to "tickle their bellies." After chopping holes in the ice with a pike, family members lower down hooks baited with seal fat. When the char bite, they yank them out of the hole with a practiced motion. (From a photographic gallery of fish images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 204).

  • By 8:00 a.m. Giuseppe Manzo and his six co-workers have already spent an hour setting up the fish stand in Palermo, Sicily. In addition to rolling out the red tarps and unfolding the display tables, they must cut and ice the fish, devoting special attention to Sicily's beloved (and increasingly endangered) pesce spada (swordfish), freshly cut chunks of which he arranges around its severed head. Ten hours later, the crew will reverse the process, storing everything for the night. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)
