Fish drying along the coast. In San Carlos. Drying racks and tarpaulins along the coastal barangays are one of the most visible everyday rhythms on the island — fish split and salted, seaweed spread out, all of it laid out in the morning and turned through the day. WHAT TO DO: it’s a working area, not a display; walk through, ask before photographing people, and buy dried fish direct if you want it (far cheaper than the market). ACTIVITIES: pairs naturally with an early visit to the nearby fish landing, since the drying is the second half of the same morning’s catch. SAFETY: no particular concern beyond sun and slippery ground — the smell is strong and the flies are constant, which is the honest reality of it.
