Christopher Sea Foods

You can find Christopher Sea Foods at Number 23 Thonithurai Road. Being on this road means we are never far from the water, which is essential for what we do. The smell of the sea is the first thing you notice when you arrive in the morning. It is a very early start for us, usually while it is still dark outside, so we can handle the fresh catch as it comes in. The floor is almost always wet from the ice and the cleaning we do to keep things fresh. We do not have a lot of furniture, just the stainless steel tables and the cold storage units. The work is cold and damp, and our boots are always wet. We spend the day sorting through different types of fish and shrimp. It is hard on the hands, especially when it is a busy season. Thonithurai Road is a busy path for people in the trade. We see the same faces every day, mostly fishermen and delivery drivers who are in a hurry. There isn't much time for sitting around. We talk while we sort and pack the crates. It is a basic setup, but it serves the purpose. We have been at this address for quite some time now, and everyone in the neighborhood knows where we are. It is just life on the coast, dealing with the salt and the tide every single day. We keep our tools sharp and our eyes on making sure the fish is fresh.
