Listen | Fish auction
This is where it used to be always bustling: there were fishermen folding and splitting nets and fishermen carrying baskets of fresh catch onto the quay. For here was the fish auction, the economic and bustling heart of our village.
See the green wooden building on stilts to the left of the road? That's the fish auction. Just down the road was the slipway, where sailboats lay on dry land for repairs. And in the smokehouses, fishermen smoked their catch. Take a look at my other son-in-law Wilm Wouters' painting on your smartphone. Here you can clearly see what went on here on and around the fish auction.
Continue your tour by walking further up the embankment to the end of the harbour.
