Anyone who shops carefully and thoughtfully for their food in Rome has surely noticed that the freshest fish is available in the city on Tuesdays and Fridays. This fact becomes particularly important each spring with the onset of Lent, for Catholics traditionally abstain from meat on Lenten Fridays, choosing fish instead. Thus, on this Lenten Photo Friday, it seems only appropriate to provide you with a most entertaining image of one of Testaccio’s rowdiest fishmongers. Yikes! What is that thing he’s holding?
The photo was taken last Friday by Susan Sanders at the Testaccio food market.
