Day 266: Fisherman on Lake Malawi

I took this photo at Senga Bay just after sunrise at about 5.30am. This guy was fixing his nets before setting off in this dugout boat to fish on Lake Malawi. Chambo is the most popular fish you get in the Lake and we had it often, totally delicious, grilled open, often served with Nsema.

Nsema, sort of like semolina but more pastey and less grainy, is very much the national dish of Malawi. A meal is not really a meal without it. I had it once and it was quite tasty but I'm not a big fan, generally, of food with porridge/cereal texture so would always go for rice as an alternative, or... ahem... chips, yes, Fish and Chips, you can take the girl out of Britain... etc.
