 Watu Ulo - Ikan Bakar | Watu Ulo - a fishing village in East JavaA hotel manager had suggested we might enjoy the seafood of the beach-front warungs in Watu Ulo. He was right. We enjoyed BBQed fish with great sambals right here. A motorbike had zipped out to get beer supplies. | | The main fihing fleet is these large boats with high curved bow, and they are brightly painted and decorated. This one had ornaments on top. The boats went out just after sunset with a crew of about 15 on each. | .jpg "Watu Ulo - Fishing Boats") Watu Ulo - Fishing Boats | .jpg "Watu Ulo - Unloading two at a time") Watu Ulo - Unloading two at a time | They returned at dawn and the baskets of fish - I would guess about 4-5 Kg in each basket - were carried up onto the beach. | | They stayed on the beach - I guess while they were tallied. | .jpg "Watu Ulo - the catch from one boat") Watu Ulo - the catch from one boat | .jpg "Watu Ulo - taking them away") Watu Ulo - taking them away | Then they were carried 4-6 at a time - I guess to a waiting truck. | | We were able to enjoy morning coffees and chat to some of the locals. | |
