Landing docks in Kampung Nelyan-- the Fisherman's Village. Most of the reasearch I did in Kuala Tungkal was done here. When the fishermen arrive back from the sea, they drop off their catch at one of these docks-- a penampungan-- where a middle man collects fish, sting rays, shrimp, and other catch and sells it on to purchasers in Jambi, Jakarta, Singapore and Malaysia. In the heat of the day, they are also covered with people drying the small catch-- the little shrimp and fish-- which the fishermen's wives generally prepare and sell themselves.
