Rayan Seafoods

Down here at 8/134 D Chithankudyeruppu, things usually start pretty early in the morning. That’s just how it is with Rayan Seafoods. When you're dealing with fish and the like, you can't really wait around for the sun to get high. The smell of the ocean is always around us. It’s a working place, not a showroom. We spend a lot of time cleaning and packing what comes in from the boats. My hands are usually cold from the ice. Chithankudyeruppu is a quiet enough area but we stay busy with the daily catch. We don't have a big corporate team or anything. It's mostly just us and a few locals who know their way around a net. Sometimes the catch is good and sometimes it’s not so great, depending on the season and the water. We just take what we get and try to handle it right. It’s hard work and the hours are long but it’s what we know. People around here know where to find us if they need something fresh for their dinner. We don't go in for big ads or fancy signs. The address 8/134 D is just a plain building where the work gets done. It’s a bit messy sometimes with the water and the crates, but that is just the nature of seafood. We've been part of this community for a while now and we just keep doing what we've always done since the start.
