A woman in a rolled-sleeve apron works a knife along a fish on a wooden market counter, the kind of stall that once served nearly every household in a town. Before refrigerated trucks and supermarket cases, fish was typically sold fresh the same day it was caught, and buyers relied on vendors like her to clean and cut their order on the spot. Scenes like this show how much skilled, daily labor went into putting food on the table, and the close attention to her hands and tools is worth a look.
