Here is a fish box I found washed up in Connemara. I am surprised by the good condition it is in. It is not broken by being bashed up against the rocky shore where I discovered it, nor perished from floating in the sea and being exposed to the sun. It is typical of a fish box used by the Spanish vessels operating off the west coast of Ireland. As you can see it is being inspected by my resident inspector of all things washed up "Sammy D". I sometimes lose finds to him as he chews them and runs around with them hanging out of his mouth. This box pass his inspection and he has had no interest in it. |
This is what my Mum would do with one of these:
