The Harvest of Jurel

Jurel or "yellowtail", as it is called in English, is a fish peculiar subtropical waters. In Aragua, Venezuela, the jurel is an essential part of the coastal people´s diet. The whole town participates in the fishing industry, including sometimes curious tourists and children. The religious component cannot be left out the harvest, of course.
