The small fishing boats that ply the river dock here to unload
their wares, which is why the fish market in this neighborhood is
known for freshness. Boats are coming and going at all hours,
making this a busy place - and a dangerous one for anyone who
isn't used to walking on wet, rotted wood that's been slicked down
by the slime and blood of countless fish. It quiets down
substantially at night, but there are still a few boats that go out at
night to hunt the elusive moonfish. (Raw moonfish eyes are
prized as aphrodisiacs by some connoisseurs. The rest of the fish
tastes terrible, but can still be unloaded to those who can't afford
to be choosy. The eyes alone can pay for the price of landing a
moonfish - selling the meat is just extra.)
