Much of the merchandise arrives from your yard sale via trucks loaded beyond belief. This one was almost unpacked when we arrived:

Natalie Ann those are terrific, as usual. You are a wonderful photographer and I love your subjects. I have a fish market fetish and those photos sure fed it. I love that particular fish market, have been going there almost since it opened, for about 40 years. Thanks again, ++Ken++

Thank you so much Ken and Diver and Gypsy.

This fish market is my favorite shopping places. Comida is always outstanding after shopping there!

I have come to look forward to Thursdays at Los Globos, a place of many diamonds among the rough. Over several visits I have found real bargains - beautiful leather purses and billfolds, a super fantastic large mirror with hand-carved frame, and that machete of which HoseA wrote in an earlier post. On one side of the machete is emblazoned a desert scene, on the other are words to the effect - This is a dangerous object. If you hurt yourself or someone else, don't blame me. :lol:

We just finished the last of our scallops purchased there. Delicious. The colors, sights and sounds. What a great place. Such abundance!

So many choices there.

Great pics, like being there again. Thanks.

Which size camerones did you like the best?

Iflyfish - This time I found the medium-sized camarones to be the most sweet, although Gene and Magda did not have a preference. The smallest ones are real sweet and juicy - perfect for ceviche, one of my favorite dishes.

Tonight we'll have the fish - curvina, I believe. Gonna bake it in foil with veges.... and I can hardly wait for dinner. :biggrin:

I'll be the Ensenada correspondent for for another month or so... then who knows?!

Natalie,

Is that fish market in the complex on the right after you turn right as you enter Ensenada? Are you going to be a permanent correspondent in Ensenada now?

Thanks for posting the pictures of all the seafood and fish. Shrimp cevice is great as is scallop.

Ah Ken... I see that by trying to delete my redundant post, I've now answered your question before it was asked. The Ensenada correspondent is now going to stop posting and return to her tequila. :rolleyes:
