Thoondil The Sea Merchants

We are Thoondil The Sea Merchants, located at No. 46 G. A. A Khan 8th Street in Thousand Lights. The name sounds a bit grand, but we are just a bunch of people who know a lot about fish and the ocean. Our day usually starts way before the sun comes up, getting things ready. The street is pretty narrow, so it can be a bit of a squeeze when the delivery trucks come in. It’s a messy business sometimes, with ice melting and the smell of the sea everywhere, but that’s just how it is. We don't have a corporate office with carpets; it’s mostly concrete floors that we wash down all the time. We work with a lot of local fishermen and people who need fresh supplies. Some days the catch is good, and some days it’s not, that’s just the nature of the water. We’ve been at this for a while now, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. But we stay right here on 8th street. We don’t do much talking about excellence or anything, we just focus on getting the fish out while it’s still good. It’s hard work and your hands get cold, but it’s what we know. If you come by, you’ll see us busy with crates and scales. We usually have boots on and we're always checking the time to make sure things stay fresh.
