Sitra Port Bahrain

Fresh Catch and First Light at Sitra Port

“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.”   Vincent Van Gogh

The best part of living on an island like Bahrain, is the fresh catch brought in daily from the sea. Alarm clocks were set, and at 4 am last Saturday,  we headed to Sitra Port. It was pitch dark when we reached    the port, with few of the regionally made fishing boats or “dhows” already docked. 

Groups of workers quickly off-load the loot into the pickups parked nearby. We barely got a few pictures that they cast off  to make way for the next boat coming in. Crab, shrimp and the local favorite Hammour were in plenty.

We had a friendly chat with members of the Coast Guard, getting some idea about port operations and seasonal variations; breaking off  our talk to appreciate a magical sunrise. Next stop, the cold store for some milk tea, biscuits and rest.

Re-energised, we are off to our next spot to capture flamingo’s who visit Bahrain as part of their yearly migration. Unable to spot them on one side of Sitra Bridge, we drive across the highway to the other side where we find them enjoying their morning feed.

I was happy and delighted, ticking off all I had expected to capture as part of this visit. The catch of the day, traditional boats, the sunrise and the flamingo. The only news for concern: my favorite fish, Channad or King fish was in short supply for the next few weeks 🙁
