Silver Fish Stall in Antalya Bazaar Dawn

Pale silver dawn light falls through the corrugated roof of the covered bazaar aisle, landing on rows of fresh silver fish laid out on crushed ice. Wet surfaces glisten under the gray morning sky, with water droplets clinging to the metal overhead and slicking the wooden display tables. Vendors in dark aprons stand beside mounds of silvery scales and translucent ice chunks, their hands moving over the merchandise. Wooden crates and woven baskets overflow with goods, creating a dense texture of commerce against the damp stone floor. Customers gather near the glistening catch, leaning over the display. A drop of condensation slides down the edge of a metal scale, reflecting the gray morning sky.
