Seafood in Safi and Essaouira

Posted on Sunday, 10 January 2010 by robjkentjr

After passing through Marrakesh, and staying for three nights, we gorged on seafood along the coastal cities of Safi and Essaouira. Besides the seafood, these cities were worth visiting just to see their ancient buildings nestled behind fortress walls.

	The fleet of blue fishing boats waiting for slack tide to slip back out to sea.



	The fish market along the dock, stocked by all those little blue boats. Just pick what you want and the cooks throw it on the grill to eat.



	Grilling up the tray of fish we selected from the stall. We picked a John Dory and the freshest sardines we have ever had.



	The crenulated tower and walls that surround Safi.



	The white buildings of Morocco that look very similar to the well known Mediterranean style.



	A lone chicken that dares to poke his head out.

It was in Essaouira that we decided to part ways with David and Peta in order to visit Rasa’s grandmother in Lithuania. We were going to fly out of Marrakesh so we all headed back there for our last stop in Africa.
