Tri-Tri is a delicacy that continues to be very well sought after and patronized in most restaurants and homes across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. But not many persons ever get to see the harvesting process which takes place at the mouths of rivers.{{more}}
The Tri-tri, or Titirie as it is called in our sister islands of Grenada and Dominica, are tiny fish which are spawned in what we now refer to our “summer months” and as we see in this photograph taken on Saturday by photographer Kingsley Roberts, brings out entire communities who take part in what is a veritable ritual of catching the tiny fish in sacks from the river’s bed and cleaning them before dumping into buckets for sale at prices which have now reached up to the pricey EC$5.00 for a tiny cup. We do not complain. The taste is always worth it.
