sting ray for sale in the Paotere fish market
Here is where the schooners and the fishing boats congregate, resulting in a great harbour and an even greater fish market.
North of the main Makassar center is Paotere harbour, the place where the old schooners – the pinisis and the Bugis prahus – land and load. Next to the harbour is home to a fishing community, largely built on stilts, and on the other side is one of the best fish markets I have ever seen.
I have written about this, and posted plenty photos, on the 2013 Indonesia travel blog.
