Grilled Fish, Vendor Style

Kismayo's fish market runs on the rhythm of the tide — the liveliest trading happens in the early morning, just after the overnight boats return.
Vendors along Kismayo's waterfront grill whole reef fish and prawns over open charcoal, seasoning them with lime, chili, and Somali spice blends before serving them straight off the coals.
Why it's made this way: Kismayo's fish market, alive with traders hauling in kingfish, snapper, octopus, and lobster each morning, makes seafood the backbone of the city's street food scene in a way inland Somali cities can't match.
