Snoek is one of the most popular types of fish used for traditional Good Friday pickled fish dishes.By now, most households have already done their frying and pickling and are ready to commemorate Good Friday with the traditional meal.Last-minute fish shopping is in full swing here at the Hout Bay harbour.“The people usually coming from two weeks till now, but now it’s the last day, now people are rushing.
“As a tourism official it’s good to empower yourself by doing research, to get to know people, what do people eat during the Good Friday, it’s obvious they like to buy a lot of fish making pickled fish, but they make it different was some people out too much onion on it, some people they put too much sour taste but it comes out good.
Customer Alphonso Matthys says, “We make pickled fish because of the Passover and all those things, with Christ that had passed away that’s why every year we do pickled fish, its a religion for us you know, from Good Friday to the Monday you have pickled fish, right through the weekend.”Selling snoek from the back of a bakkie, he says, has its roots in his forebears, who sold fish from the back of horsecarts.
He says with the migration of snoek further up the West Coast, they now have to travel as far as Port Nolloth, for their catch. With record fuel prices, this directly impacts the price they can sell the snoek for. “Last year, the bakkies were like this because clients did buy you see but now you only sell maybe 70 or 80 fish for the day, but other years you sell your 150 or 200 or 300 fish, but now the people just come, it is , it’s is , but it’s not going about .”
