View of a group of men and teenage boys processing fish in a small square. Piles of fish are laid out on tables. One man appears to be scraping the fish while a boy waits with a long-handled spoon, ready to pour something over the fish. The are working over a large barrel, with a wooden wheelbarrow in the foreground, and a view of buildings beyond the square visible over the rooftops.
