A small booth near the edge of the port, it's protected by a piece of old, sun-bleached sailcloth. Baskets of freshly-caught fish, bivalves, and eels sit in the shade in stained wooden troughs of water. A small, aggressive-looking dog is chained to one table, presumably to keep cats away. The stall is redolent with the aroma of fish.

No one likes dogs. I live on the streets with all the other dogs. I am hungry most of the time. Sometimes I fight with the other dogs. I am a dog.
I smell fish everywhere.... does someone have a treat to throw a poor dog Woah, they there scruffy little guy. You hungry? I'm sure I can find some scraps around here somewhere. I'm just so hungry I could eat my leg off Well slow down fella, no need for that. All this is fresh caught this morning and it was a good haul, so I've got some spare. Cod, trout, salmon, even some eels - whatcha want? Oh just throw a trout or two, please Sure thing, buddy, give me just a second - don't go gnawing your leg off there... Oh those look so good, I can already taste it There you go little guy - these are all the ones that for some reason, the people don't want. A lil bit ugly or small perhaps. You're welcome to 'em. Thank you kind sir! I am forever in your debt Not a problem. No worries at all. Just let me give you a good scratch round the ear? I miss my dog from years back. Oh that feels so good! No one has done that before. Do you want a dog? I could be your dog Really? You don't have a human? I'd love that. I could use the companionship and it seems like you could use the food.
