Morning Catch

Soft light of new day illuminating the long smoke from fishing boat engine & the shape of green nets moving underneath the water surface from aerial view. Many local fisherman families along the coastline of Phu Yen province in Vietnam will follow the near-shore currents to catch the anchovy during peak season. Salted anchovy is the most important raw material to create traditional fish sauce, the humble anchovy becomes the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine.
