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.

eel
Most people think I look like a snake, but I am really a ray finned fish. I  live in the shallow waters of the ocean and burrow into sand, mud, or among rocks. I like to swim all day.
Watch it! You almost stepped on me! Sorry eel. I didn't see you there. Maybe I'll just sit on this so you can see me better. This is very comfy anyway. What is your name eel? My name is fred, What's yours? I am billy. I work here. You got any snacks for me? It smells wonderful here. I can prepare some fish if you'd like? Oh goody! You are me new best friend! Have you ever been on a ship eel? No, but they seem quite interesting. I would be afraid to be stepped on with all the people running around. Yea that would probably happen. I nearly crushed you on accident!
